This book introduces the principle theories and applications of control
and filtering problems to address emerging hot topics in feedback
systems. With the development of IT technology at the core of the 4th
industrial revolution, dynamic systems are becoming more sophisticated,
networked, and advanced to achieve even better performance. However,
this evolutionary advance in dynamic systems also leads to unavoidable
constraints. In particular, such elements in control systems involve
uncertainties, communication/transmission delays, external noise, sensor
faults and failures, data packet dropouts, sampling and quantization
errors, and switching phenomena, which have serious effects on the
system's stability and performance. This book discusses how to deal with
such constraints to guarantee the system's design objectives, focusing
on real-world dynamical systems such as Markovian jump systems,
networked control systems, neural networks, and complex networks, which
have recently excited considerable attention. It also provides a number
of practical examples to show the applicability of the presented methods
and techniques.
This book is of interest to graduate students, researchers and
professors, as well as R&D engineers involved in control theory and
applications looking to analyze dynamical systems with constraints and
to synthesize various types of corresponding controllers and filters for
optimal performance of feedback systems.
