Features: This authoritative textbook explores the design and analysis of nonlinear control systems. In the third edition, the author includes new research findings and techniques. The topics covered include: · Local and global decomposition of control systems · Input-output mapping and realization theory · Nonlinear feedback for single-input/single-output and multi-input/multi-output systems · Application of state feedback · Output regulation · Global stability and disturbance attenuation The examples in the book cover fields such as mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering. This internationally renowned and highly influential monograph in the field of automatic control primarily elaborates on methods for designing nonlinear control systems using differential geometry theory. The book was completed over a decade by the author, integrating more than 20 years of his major research achievements and teaching experience. The first three chapters introduce the fundamental theory of nonlinear systems and the related algebraic and geometric foundation theories. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the exact linearization methods for single-input single-output and multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems. Chapters 6 and 7 further delve into the input-output decoupling problem of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems. Chapter 8 discusses output tracking and output regulation problems. Chapter 9 addresses semi-global linearization under weaker conditions. Appendix A outlines the relevant theories of topology and differential topology involved. Appendix B briefly summarizes the center manifold theory and singular perturbation theory. The first three chapters and the appendices introduce the foundational knowledge of the book, while the other chapters elaborate on various design methods. The book is comprehensive, clearly written, rigorously argued, and concisely fluent, making it suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in automatic control, as well as a reference for scholars and engineers in related fields.
