Produktbeschreibung
The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained and coordinated de scription of several design methods for nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the problem of achieving stability, globally or on arbitrarily large domains, in the presence of model uncertainties. The book is intended to be a continuation of my earlier book Nonlinear Control Systems, dealing with the fundamentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, whose third edition was published in 1995. In this respect, it is written in the form of a "second volume" of a single work, and uses a numbering system that continues the one adopted in the earlier book, with which the overlap is essentially insignificant. The book is intended as a graduate text as well as a reference to scientists and engineers interested in the design of feedback laws for nonlinear control systems. In the last decade, methods for global stabilization of nonlinear systems have experienced a vigorous growth.

Autorenporträt
Alberto Isidori was born in Rapallo, Italy. He graduated in electrical engineering from the University of Rome in 1965. In 1969 he obtained a degree equivalent to a doctorate in automatic control from the University of Rome. Since 1975, he has been Professor of Automatic Control at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". Since 1989, he has also held a position of rofessor (on a half-time basis) at the Department of Systems Science and Mathematics, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. He has held visiting positions at several academic institutions, including the University of Illinois (Urbana, Il.), the University of California (Berkeley, Ca.) and the ETH (Zurich, Switzerland). His research interests are primarily focused on mathematical control theory and control engineering. In 1979, Alberto Isidori initiated a research program aimed at the extension of so-called "geometric theory" of multivariable linear systems, pioneered in the early 1970s by various authors,to linear systems. Linear algebra and linear geometric methods were replaced in nonlinear systems by the methods of differential geometry, whose usefulness in the study of controllability, observability, and minimality of nonlinear systems had been demonstrated in the early 70s. The main intuition of Isidori was to use differential geometric methods in the synthesis of feedback laws for nonlinear systems, more or less in the same way as linear geometric methods were used in the synthesis of feedback laws for linear systems. The result of this seminal work was the development of systematic methods addressing outstanding design problems like feedback linearization, noninteracting control, disturbance decoupling, and model matching. From 1985 to 1990 Isidori's research concentrated on the development of the "nonlinear analogue" of the notion of the "zero" of a transfer function. Taking as a point of departure the "geometric" interpretation of this notion, the concept of nonlinear zero dynamics was introduced, studied, and applied. As a result, it was shown that most of the features of the notion of zeros of the transfer function of a linear system are actually manifestations of more general principles. Remarkable examples of application of this theory consisted in the study and the solution of the nonlinear equivalent of the so-called "servomechanism problem" of linear system theory and in the characterization of the conditions for feedback equivalence to a nonlinear passive system. Since the 90s, Isidori has focused his research interests on problems of disturbance attenuation and robust stabilization of nonlinear systems.

Rezensionen
From the reviews:

According to the Preface: "The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained and coordinated description of several design methods for nonlinear systems, with special emphasis on the problem of achieving stability, globally or on arbitrarily large domains, in the presence of model uncertainties. The book is intended to be a continuation of my earlier book [Nonlinear Control Systems, third edition, Springer, London, 1995]."

This statement provides an indication of the author's motivation and the emphasis of the presentation. The book provides a careful and detailed treatment of the selected topics.

It should be mentioned that intimate knowledge of Isidori's earlier book is not a prerequisite for the current book. Some references are made to the earlier book, but only relatively simple notions of relative degree and feedback transformations are used. Although the numbering scheme of the current book indicates a continuation of the earlier book, the topics covered are distinct and the two books can be studied independently.

Chapter 10 (the first chapter of the book) is devoted to the stability analysis of systems that can be viewed as a cascade or feedback interconnection. Basic analysis tools are introduced, including input-to-state stability, small gain theorem, dissipativity and passivity. Chapter 11 describes methods for global robust stabilization of nonlinear systems. Systems modelled by equations in lower-triangular form containing unknown parameters are introduced. Several control design approaches, based on different assumptions, are developed. Chapter 12 is concerned with "semi-global practical stabilizability". The case of output feedback is given considerable attention. In Chapter 13, the small-gain theorem is used to study robust stabilization in the presence of unmodeled dynamics. This leads to nonlinear H-infinity problems. Chapter 15 treats problems of stabilizability subject tocontrol amplitude constraints: several different approaches are developed. The book concludes with useful bibliographical notes and a list of references that the author has personally used in the development of the book.

The book does an excellent job of pulling together results from numerous research publications and presenting them in a reasonably unified form. The emphasis throughout is on the mathematical development, rather than on t he scientific significance of application of the concepts. Proofs are given for all major results, and in some cases several alternate proofs are provided. Many of the topics introduced remain the subject of active research, so that the book is likely to be of great interest to mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who are, or intend to become, active researchers in robust and global/semiglobal stabilization of nonlinear systems.

This book is essential for serious research in nonlinear control, but requires some seriousness of purpose on the part of the reader.
