Opis

This book resents a switched finite time control philosophy to stabilize a class of underactuated systems. Beginning with basic definitions and mathematical preliminaries, the monograph works its way up to the main control algorithm. Three well-studied applications are chosen to demonstrate the algorithm. Other facets of the algorithm and an alternate algorithm are also briefly touched upon.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This is a monograph focusing on the control of a class of undergraduate mechanical systems ... which are not linearly controllable. ... The book is recommended to researchers, doctoral students and application engineers interested in the automatic control of underactuated mechanical systems." (Octavian Pastravanu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1121 (23), 2007)
