Modal Interval Analysis
New Tools for Numerical Information
Language: English
Release Date: November 18, 2013
This book presents an innovative new approach to interval analysis. Modal Interval Analysis (MIA) is an attempt to go beyond the limitations of classic intervals in terms of their structural, algebraic and logical features. The starting point of MIA is quite simple: It consists in defining a modal...

Language: English
Release Date: June 21, 2012
Language: English
Release Date: June 21, 2012
Unifying two decades of research, this book is the first to establish a comprehensive foundation for a systematic analysis and design of linear systems with general state and input constraints. For such systems, which can be used as models for most nonlinear systems, the issues of stability, controller...
Sliding Mode Control
The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach
Language: English
Release Date: May 25, 2015
This monograph presents a novel method of sliding mode control for switch-regulated nonlinear systems. The Delta Sigma modulation approach allows one to implement a continuous control scheme using one or multiple, independent switches, thus effectively merging the available linear and nonlinear controller...

by Andrew D. Lewis
Language: English
Release Date: July 22, 2014
Language: English
Release Date: July 22, 2014
This brief presents a description of a new modelling framework for nonlinear/geometric control theory. The framework is intended to be—and shown to be—feedback-invariant. As such, Tautological Control Systems provides a platform for understanding fundamental structural problems in geometric control...
