Nonlinear Control Systems II is a continuation of the same author s classic work Nonlinear Control Systems (978-3-540-19916-8). Including further advances in this increasingly important field of control theory, the second volume presents a self-contained and co-ordinated description of several design methods. In particular, the text takes advantage of the recent vigorous growth in such methods and concepts as input-to-state stability, the small-gain criterion and passivity via feedback to increase the reader s ability to design effective feedback laws for nonlinear systems with model uncertainties. Among the most important features of this text are: stability analysis of interconnected nonlinear systems, including the notions of input-to-state stability and its role in analysing cascade-connected or feedback-connected systems and of dissipativity and its consequences; robust stabilization in cases with parametric uncertainties the use of global, semi-global and practical semi-global stabilization and the design of state feedback and output feedback laws; robust stabilization in cases with unstructured perturbations including disturbance attenuation and almost disturbance decoupling; global stabilization using bounded controls; normal forms for multi-input, multi-output nonlinear systems from the global point of view and their role in feedback design. The primary purpose of this book is as a reference for scientists, mathematicians and engineers working in the design of nonlinear control systems but it will also be of use as a text for graduate students studying control theory and nonlinear dynamical systems."
