This book presents a series of innovative technologies and research
results on adaptive control of dynamic systems with quantization,
uncertainty, and nonlinearity, including the theoretical success and
practical development such as the approaches for stability analysis, the
compensation of quantization, the treatment of subsystem interactions,
and the improvement of system tracking and transient performance. Novel
solutions by adopting backstepping design tools to a number of hotspots
and challenging problems in the area of adaptive control are provided.
In the first three chapters, the general design procedures and stability
analysis of backstepping controllers and the basic descriptions and
properties of quantizers are introduced as preliminary knowledge for
this book. In the remainder of this book, adaptive control schemes are
introduced to compensate for the effects of input quantization, state
quantization, both input and state/output quantization for uncertain
nonlinear systems and are applied to helicopter systems and DC
Microgrid. Discussion remarks are provided in each chapter highlighting
new approaches and contributions to emphasize the novelty of the
presented design and analysis methods. Simulation results are also given
in each chapter to show the effectiveness of these methods.
This book is helpful to learn and understand the fundamental
backstepping schemes for state feedback control and output feedback
control. It can be used as a reference book or a textbook on adaptive
quantized control for students with some background in feedback control
systems. Researchers, graduate students, and engineers in the fields of
control, information, and communication, electrical engineering,
mechanical engineering, computer science, and others will benefit from
this book.
