Nonlinear Systems, Third Edition: Nonlinear Systems

Author: Hassan K Khalil
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Publication Date: 2002-02-01
Features:
· NEW-Updated to include subjects which have proven useful in nonlinear control design in recent years—New in the 3rd edition are: expanded treatment of passivity and passivity-based control; integral control, high-gain feedback, recursive methods, optimal stabilizing control, control Lyapunov functions, and observers. Moreover, bifurcation is introduced in the context of second-order systems.
· NEW-New section added in Chapter 1—Provides an overview of the book and explains connections between the various analysis and control tools covered in the book.
· NEW-The proof of the existence and uniqueness theorem has been moved to an appendix.
· NEW-Webpage (www.prenhall.com/khalil)—Contains information about the book, detailed description of changes from previous editions, hints on how to organize courses around the textbook, corrections, additional exercises with or without solutions.
· Self-contained chapters—Starting from Chapter 5, all the chapters are written to be self-contained or utilize limited information from previous chapters.
This book establishes a hybrid approach to introduce four parts of content: fundamental analysis, feedback system analysis, advanced analysis, and nonlinear feedback control. The original title is Nonlinear Systems, 3rd.
