Description:
This book offers a collection of tools and techniques that make predictor feedback ideas applicable to nonlinear systems, systems modeled by PDEs, and systems with highly uncertain or completely unknown input/output delays.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"A research monograph that introduces the treatment of systems with input delays as PDE-ODE cascade systems with boundary control. ... The book should be of interest to researchers working on control of delay systems - engineers, graduate students, and delay systems specialists in academia. Mathematicians ... will find the book interesting ... . Chemical engineers and process dynamic researchers, who have traditionally been users of the Smith predictor and related approaches, should find the various extensions of this methodology that the book presents to be useful."
