Nonlinear Control of Dynamic NetworksAuthor(s): Tengfei Liu, Zhong-Ping Jiang, David J. Hill\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138076617, 978-1138076617\nSynopsis\nSignificant progress has been made on nonlinear control systems in the past two decades. However, many of the existing nonlinear control methods cannot be readily used to cope with communication and networking issues without nontrivial modifications. For example, small quantization errors may cause the performance of a \""well-designed\"" nonlinear control system to deteriorate. \n\nMotivated by the need for new tools to solve complex problems resulting from smart power grids, biological processes, distributed computing networks, transportation networks, robotic systems, and other cutting-edge control applications, Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks tackles newly arising theoretical and real-world challenges for stability analysis and control design, .
