Variable Structure Control of Complex Systems cover

This book provides a thorough examination of variable-structure control, offering insights into its application across various complex systems, including aerospace and environmental management.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in variable-structure control. It serves as a self-contained resource, introducing essential mathematical concepts to ensure that the theoretical insights are accessible to a diverse audience. By laying a solid foundation, the authors aim to bridge the gap between complex theories and practical applications.

Beginning with an exploration of fundamental principles, Variable Structure Control of Complex Systems delves into the applications of variable-structure control in intricate nonlinear systems. The authors offer a structured approach that addresses system uncertainties characterized by nonlinear bounds, making it applicable to a wide range of scenarios. The book emphasizes the importance of managing complex systems with limited measurement information, providing results that are straightforward to implement in real-world situations. With case studies spanning various fields, including aerospace, power systems, and environmental management, the authors illustrate the transition from theoretical models to practical engineering solutions.

The text tackles challenges such as nonlinearities, time delays, and interconnections, addressing critical aspects like stabilization, observer design, and fault detection. By incorporating numerous numerical and practical examples, Variable Structure Control of Complex Systems enhances the reader's understanding and application of its concepts. This book is particularly beneficial for academic researchers focused on control theory and engineers in industries related to aerospace, electrical, and mechanical engineering, highlighting the robustness of its methodologies.

“In this book the authors present their recent results on the application of variable structure control methods to nonlinear systems where uncertainties, time delays and coupling play a fundamental role. … The design of each control law is clearly presented, and while performing a rigorous stability analysis of the closed-loop system, the authors complement their results with several examples, helping readers understand the scope for application.” (Laura Levaggi, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2017)
