Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications

From the reviews:

“The authors present a comprehensive description of a new nonlinear and adaptive control synthesis approach … . It was a pleasure to read the book. … The main idea of each proposed solution is first clearly described, illustrated by a motivating example and then put into rigorous mathematical theorems and derivations. … The book is well written. … I’m sure that this book would be a welcome addition to the library of any researcher and practitioner working on nonlinear control.” (Jacek Kabziński, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 j)

“The book Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications … guides the reader through the development of a collection of tools based on an immersion and invariance (I&I) methodology. … this book provides a highly readable exposition of the main I&I design concepts. … This book is a joy to read and is accessible to graduate-level researchers in nonlinear control as well as practitioners with graduate degrees. The tools developed in this book using the I&I methodology are a welcome addition to any nonlinear control toolbox.” (Randy Freeman, IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 31, April, 2011)
