Control and Observer Design for Nonlinear Finite and Infinite Dimensional Systems


This volume presents a well balanced combination of state-of-the-art theoretical results in the field of nonlinear controller and observer design, combined with industrial applications stemming from mechatronics, electrical, (bio–) chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics. The unique combination of results of finite as well as infinite–dimensional systems makes this book a remarkable contribution addressing postgraduates, researchers, and engineers both at universities and in industry. The contributions to this book were presented at the Symposium on Nonlinear Control and Observer Design: From Theory to Applications (SYNCOD), held September 15–16, 2005, at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. The conference and this book are dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Dr.–Ing. Dr.h.c. Michael Zeitz to honor his life – long research and contributions on the fields of nonlinear control and observer design.

Preface

The field of nonlinear controlhas gathered increasing importance during the

last decades andisstill —orrather more than ever —avery activefield

of research. Thereby, thedevelopment of nonlinear controltheoryand design

is directly linked to theprogress in theory anddesignofnonlinearobservers.

Fo rinstance,the differential geometricviewpoint hadimpact in both research

areas.Another importantaspect linking both fields is thefact that modern

nonlinearcontrol laws usually requirefull or at least partialstate information,

such that theclassical control–loop hastobeamendedbyanobserver.

Besides research, nonlinearcontrol andobserver design andespecially their

realtime realization andimplementationentersmoreand more into industrial

applications. Particularlyinthe fields of automotive engineering andmechatronics,

higher controlperformance is demanded with thesimultaneous demand

of actuatorand sensor size reduction.Additionally,marketpressure

increases thedemand to reduce costly sensors,suchthatsignals have to be

reconstructed mathematically.

Although most of theresultsonnonlinear controllerand observer designare

intended forfinite–dimensionalsystems, their application to infinitedimensionalsystems

described by partialdifferential equationsgathersmore

andmoreimportance. Recently,this area experiencedarevival duetothe

demands e.g. in thecontrol of highly nonlinear flexible structures from mechatronics,

or bio–chemical systems, wherespatial effectscan notbeneglected.

The intension of this volume is to presentawell balanced combination

of state-of-the-art theoreticalresults in the field of nonlinearcontroller and

observerdesign, combined with industrialapplicationsstemming from mechatronics,

electrical,(bio–) chemical engineering,and fluid dynamics.The table
