Control of Nonlinear Systems.
Abstract
Results are summarized for the feedback stabilization of linear time varying differential and discrete-time linear systems, as well as a class of differential-delay systems. Extensions are described for a control law which tolerates a large class of nonlinearities in the loop without destroying stability. Research results are also described for the control of a class of intercept systems including its interpretation as a commutative bilinear system and a feedback control law which incorporates least squares estimation of the target speed and turning rate. Results are described for parameter identification of a class of nonlinear systems with particular attention given to the identification of parameters for a helicopter system in longitudinal motion using input-output data on a finite time interval. Extensions to a signal estimation problem are indicated. (Author)
