Abstract: We consider a class of uncertain dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations and characterized by certain structural conditions and known bounding functions. For a feasible class ...

Abstract: We consider the problem of designing robust tracking controllers for uncertain fully-actuated mechanical systems. We propose controllers which are robust r − α tracking controllers in the following ...

Abstract: Lack of complete knowledge of process characteristics, particularly uncertainties associated with milling processes and spindle behavior, severely limits the reliability of high speed spindles to support high speed machining. ...

Abstract: This paper develops a hybrid/gain scheduled controller for moving the state of a diesel engine through a driving profile represented as a sequence of operating points in the seven-dimensional ...

Abstract: A basic problem in the design of control systems is the lack of simple effective methods for designing decentralized control systems that are robust with respect to certain types of structural ...
