Nonlinear Systems

Editors: van de Wouw, Nathan, Lefeber, Erjen, Lopez Arteaga, Ines (Eds.)
Addresses important open problems in control of nonlinear systems
Inspires ideas for new research by providing informative contributions from an authoritative group of international experts
Presents a unique overview of important developments in nonlinear systems reflecting the work of Professor Henk Nijmeijer

This treatment of modern topics related to the control of nonlinear systems is a collection of contributions celebrating the work of Professor Henk Nijmeijer and honoring his 60th birthday. It addresses several topics that have been the core of Professor Nijmeijer’s work, namely: the control of nonlinear systems, geometric control theory, synchronization, coordinated control, convergent systems and the control of underactuated systems. The book presents recent advances in these areas, contributed by leading international researchers in systems and control. In addition to the theoretical questions treated in the text, particular attention is paid to a number of applications including (mobile) robotics, marine vehicles, neural dynamics and mechanical systems generally.
This volume provides a broad picture of the analysis and control of nonlinear systems for scientists and engineers with an interest in the interdisciplinary field of systems and control theory. The reader will benefit from the expert participants’ ideas on important open problems with contributions that represent the state of the art in nonlinear control.
