Part of the book: Recent Advances in Robust Control

By Cheng‐Lun Chen

This book chapter reviews and summarizes the recent progress in the design of spatial‐based robust adaptive repetitive and iterative learning control. In particular, the collection of methods aims at rotary systems that are subject to spatially periodic uncertainties and based on nonlinear control paradigm, e.g., adaptive feedback linearization and adaptive backstepping. We will elaborate on the design procedure (applicable to generic nth‐order systems) of each method and the corresponding stability and convergence theorems.

Part of the book: Robust Control

By Cheng-Lun Chen

This chapter provides the reader with a control-centric modeling and analysis approach along with a nonlinear control design for a class of switching power converters. A comprehensive model combining the respective state variable models of the interval subsystems is established. Comparison with PSpice simulation justifies the credibility of the model. Based on this model, internal/BIBO stability can be studied for each interval subsystem. Moreover, controllability and observability can also be analyzed to help determine subsequent control configuration. The established model is further investigated for advanced control design, i.e., robust adaptive fuzzy control.
