    This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the nonlinear output regulation problem. It contains up-to-date research results and algorithms and tools for approaching and solving this and other related problems. Output regulation is a general mathematical formulation of many control problems encountered in daily life, including cruise control of automobiles, landing and takeoff of aircraft, manipulation of robot arms, orbiting of satellites, and speed regulation of motors. In addition to the previously obtained results on the output regulation problem is the newly developed general framework that converts the robust output regulation problem for a given nonlinear system into a robust stabilization problem for an augmented system. This general framework is based on the construction of nonlinear internal models and offers greater flexibility to incorporate recent new stabilization techniques, thus setting the stage for systematically tackling robust output regulation with global stability.

    • An informative and useful reference for graduate students, professors, and researchers in applied mathematics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering
    • Can be used in a graduate-level control systems course as well as by control design engineers in industry
    • Accompanied by many examples, including practical case studies with numerical simulations based on MATLAB/SIMULINK

    Reviews & endorsements

    'Jie Huang has been and continues to be one of the primary developers of the theory of nonlinear systems, including especially the theory of nonlinear output regulation. He developed a firm mathematical foundation for this field, and this book reflects the rigor and excitement of his primary research.' Frank Lewis, University of Texas at Arlington

    'The topic of nonlinear output regulation is one of the most important and currently one of the most active research areas in control theory and applications. Jie Huang is one of the few leading researchers in this area, and the material covered is excellent and cohesive.' Zongli Lin, University of Virginia

    'The book is very clearly written. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the output regulation problem.… Since the author himself is a pioneer and very active researcher in the field of the output regulation, the book is an interesting monograph with outgrowths from many original contributions by the author and his research collaborators.' Qiang Lu, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
