Nonsmooth Nonlinearities, Interactions or Time-Variations
Chapter
In this chapter, we present a new scheme to design adaptive controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems in the presence of input saturation. Similar to previous chapters, the developed controllers do not requi...

Piezo-positioning mechanisms are often used in high-precision positioning applications. Due to their materials, nonlinear hysteretic behavior is commonly observed in such mechanisms and can be described by a L...
Chapter
Recursive design in this book is composed of some simple basic steps. They are referred to as “backstep** designs” because they step back toward the control input starting with a scalar equation. This chapte...

In this chapter, adaptive output feedback control of a class of multiple-input multiple-output systems is considered in the presence of unknown disturbances. Except the signs of the term multiplying the contro...
Chapter
When dealing with real control problems, the designer is inevitably led to face the difficulties tied to the presence of real physical components, which often contain nonsmooth nonlinearities. In particular, a...
