This reference for scientists and engineers presents analysis and design of various types of control systems, such as adaptive control, nonlinear control, and intelligent control. The book’s international contributors are experts and researchers in electrical engineering, physics, and system dynamics; many are from Tunisia and Algeria. The book’s 25 chapters are grouped in six sections on nonlinear control systems, chaos and control applications, intelligent control applications, robotics and control applications, time-delay and switched control systems, and power systems and engineering applications. Some specific subjects addressed include a random bit generator based on non-autonomous chaotic systems, discrete-time approximation of multivariable continuous-time delay systems, and stabilization and control of mechanical systems with backlash.
