This book provides a systematic approach to the design of predictor based controllers for (time-varying) linear systems with either (time-varying) input or state delays. Differently from those traditional predictor based controllers, which are infinite-dimensional static feedback laws and may cause difficulties in their practical implementation, this book develops a truncated predictor feedback (TPF) which involves only finite dimensional static state feedback. Features and topics: * A novel approach referred to as truncated predictor feedback for the stabilization of (time-varying)...

A groundbreaking new work on the topic, this book includes detailed proofs, summaries of technical results, and solutions to the semi-global and global stabilization problems of linear time delay systems subject to energy and magnitude saturation constraints.
