Uniform Output Regulation of Nonlinear Systems: A Convergent Dynamics Approach

By Alexey Pavlov and Henk Nijmeijer

Book Overview

Output regulation is a classic control problem that resides at the core of control engineering. It is encountered in such areas as set-point control, tracking of harmonic reference signals, rejecting harmonic disturbances, controlled synchronization of dynamical systems, and observer design for autonomous systems. This book is the first systematic study of the nonlinear output regulation problem that embraces both the local as well as the global cases, covering such aspects as solvability, controller design, and practical implementation issues.

In addition to being an excellent reference for the uniform output regulation problem, the text is also a tutorial on convergent systems for control engineers, theorists, and students of advanced control courses. The book may be used as a textbook for a graduate course on nonlinear control.
