Activation of Nonlinear Feedback Concepts

  • Chapter
System Theory

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 518))

Abstract

We describe the ongoing ‘activation process’ in nonlinear control, through which some of the earlier descriptive concepts are being converted into constructive design tools applicable to common classes of nonlinear systems. This process is a confluence of several research streams with activated stability, passivity and geometric concepts.

This work was supported by NSF ECS-98-12346, AFOSR/PRET 49620-95-1-0409, and by a grant from Ford Motor Company.
