This monograph provides a complete description of resilient control theory. It unifies the methods for developing resilient controllers and filters for a class of uncertain dynamical systems and reports recent advances in design methodologies. The book presents an introductory and comprehensive treatment of resilient controller design methods placing great emphasis on the derivation of necessary and sufficient design conditions and on the use of linear matrix inequalities as a convenient computational tool. The book can be used as a graduate-level textbook in control engineering or applied...

This monograph presents original methods of analysis and synthesis for a wide class of control systems with required accuracy. The direct interaction between those methods and classical frequency domain methods is demonstrated as well as its importance for the investigation of automatic control systems quality. This clearly and thoughtful written book is aimed at control engineers, practitioners such as system designers or designers of automatic control devices, as well as researchers in control theory. Ensuring Control Accuracy is also a useful textbook for graduate...

This monograph combines the knowledge of both the field of nonlinear dynamics and non-smooth mechanics, presenting a framework for a class of non-smooth mechanical systems using techniques from both fields. The book reviews recent developments, and opens the field to the nonlinear dynamics community. This book addresses researchers and graduate students in engineering and mathematics interested in the modelling, simulation and dynamics of non-smooth systems and nonlinear dynamics.

This volume contains contributions to the First Kazakh-German Advanced Research Workshop on Computational Science and High Performance Computing presented in September 2005 at Almaty, Kazakhstan. The workshop was organized by the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (Stuttgart, Germany), al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and the Institute of Computational Technologies SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia) in the framework of activities of the German-Russian Center for Computational Technologies and High Performance

Bifurcation control refers to the task of designing a controller that can modify the bifurcation properties of a given nonlinear system, so as to achieve some desirable dynamical behaviors. There exists no similar control theory-oriented book available in the market that is devoted to the subject of bifurcation control, written by control engineers for control engineers. World-renowned leading experts in the field provide their state-of-the-art survey about the extensive research that has been done over the last few years in this subject. The book is not only aimed at active researchers in...

This textbook on models and modeling in mechanics introduces a new unifying approach to applied mechanics: through the concept of the open scheme, a step-by-step approach to modeling evolves. The unifying approach enables a very large scope on relatively few pages: the book treats theories of mass points and rigid bodies, continuum models of solids and fluids, as well as traditional engineering mechanics of beams, cables, pipe flow and wave propagation.
