Bücher von Arjan van der Schaft

Provides a concise and easily accessible description of the foundations underpinning port-Hamiltonian systems theory, and goes on to emphasize novel developments in the field that will be of interest to a broad range of researchers. The tutorial style makes this book suitable for use in a course and by students.

This volume presents research directions, including: stability analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems and converse Lyapunov theorems; stabilization and regulation of nonlinear dynamical control systems; and control of physical systems using physics-based Lyapunov functions and passivity.

This volume deals with controllability and observability properties of nonlinear systems, as well as various ways to obtain input-output representations. The emphasis is on fundamental notions as (controlled) invariant distributions and submanifolds, together with algorithms to compute the required feedbacks.

This text discusses fundamental theories of nonlinear control. It details the small-gain and passivity theorems, and recent developments in nonlinear passivity-based and robust H-infinity control. This edition also includes new material on feedback passifiability.
