Analysis and Design Methods for Nonlinear Control Systems

Abstract

This report briefly describes research results on the analysis and design of nonlinear control systems obtained by the author and his students over the three-year period of support. The main focus of the research has been on a new approach for designing nonlinear control laws that is called design by extended linearization. Results reported include a method for designing nonlinear controllers of proportional-integral-derivative type, a method for designing nonlinear control laws that achieve asymptotic tracking of reference signals and rejection of disturbance signals for nonlinear plants, and a method for achieving approximate noninteraction with stability in cases where exact noninteraction with stability cannot be achieved. Technical publications describing these and other results are listed. Keywords: Control theory.
