Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

This course is an introduction to the foundations of nonlinear control theory, with an emphasis on feedback stabilization. As needed, topics from differential geometry and other mathematical ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

The Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy descriptor system offers a promising avenue for controlling non-linear systems but lacks optimal control strategies. Moreover, while robust control methods have been ...
