This monograph presents the recently introduced and already widely referred semi-discretization method for the stability analysis of delayed dynamical systems. The semi-discretization method is presented in a simple and clear way with examples.

Vehicles are complex mechanical systems with strong nonlinear characteristics and which can present some uncertainties due to their dynamic parameters such as masses, inertias, suspension springs, tires side slip coefficients, etc.

A vehicle is composed of many parts, namely the unsprung mass, the sprung mass, the suspension which makes the link between these two masses and therefore ensures passenger comfort, and also the pneumatic which absorbs the energy coming from the road and ensures contact between the vehicle and the road. In addition to its complexity and the presence of...

In this work we derive asymptotically stabilizing control laws for
electrical power systems using two nonlinear control synthesis techniques.
For this transient stabilization problem the actuator considered is
a power electronic device, a controllable series capacitor (CSC).
The power system is described using two different nonlinear models - the second order swing equation and the third order flux-decay model.

To start with, the CSC is modeled by the injection model which is
based on the assumption that the CSC dynamics is very fast as compared to the dynamics...

This monograph is aiming at researchers of systems control, especially those interested in multiagent systems, distributed and decentralized control, and structured systems. The book assumes no prior background in geometric control theory; however, a first

year graduate course in linear control systems is desirable. Since not all control researchers today are exposed to geometric control theory, the book also adopts a tutorial style by way of examples that illustrate the geometric and abstract algebra concepts used in linear geometric control. In addition, the matrix...

Singular systems which are also referred to as descriptor systems, semi-state systems, differential- algebraic systems or generalized state-space systems have attracted much attention because of their extensive applications in the Leontief dynamic model, electrical and mechanical models, etc. This monograph presented up-to-date research developments and references on stability analysis and design of nonlinear singular systems. It investigated the problems of practical stability, strongly absolute stability, input-state stability and observer design for nonlinear singular systems and the...
