A complete reference to adaptive control of systems with nonsmooth industrial nonlinearities such as: backlash; dead-zones; component failure; friction; hysteresis; saturation; and time delays.

The Encyclopedia of Systems and Control collects a broad range of short expository articles that describe the current state of the art in the central topics of control and systems engineering as well as in many of the related fields in which control is an enabling technology. The editors have assembled the most comprehensive reference possible, and this has been greatly facilitated by the publisher’s commitment to continuously publish updates to the articles as they become available in the future. Although control engineering is now a mature discipline, it remains an area in which there is a great deal of research activity, and as new developments in both theory and applications become available, they will be included in the online version of the encyclopedia. A carefully chosen team of leading authorities in the field has written the well over 300 articles, 50 of them new in the second edition. The topics range from basic principles of feedback in servomechanisms to advanced topics such as the control of Boolean networks and evolutionary game theory and this range has also been expanded to include material on such subjects as the Internet of Things, quantum control and smart grids. Because the content has been selected to reflect both foundational importance and subjects that are of current interest to the research and practitioner communities, a broad readership that includes students, application engineers, and research scientists will find entries that are of interest.

Presenting current trends in the development and applications of intelligent systems in engineering, this monograph focuses on recent research results in system identification and control. The recurrent neurofuzzy and the fuzzy cognitive network (FCN) models are presented. Both models are suitable for partially-known or unknown complex time-varying systems. Neurofuzzy Adaptive Control contains rigorous proofs of its statements which result in concrete conclusions for the selection of the design parameters of the algorithms presented.

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent Automation and Soft Computing (IASC2021). Various topics covered in this book include AI algorithm, neural networks, pattern recognition, machine learning, blockchain technology, system engineering, computer vision and image processing, adaptive control and robotics, big data and data processing, networking and security. The book is a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in artificial intelligence, automation, and soft computing.

This book, published in honor of Professor Laurent Praly on the occasion of his 65th birthday, explores the responses of some leading international authorities to new challenges in nonlinear and adaptive control. The mitigation of the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity – ubiquitous features of real-world engineering and natural systems – on closed-loop stability and robustness being of crucial importance, the contributions report the latest research into overcoming these difficulties in:

This book focuses on two of the most important aspects of wind farm operation: decisions and control.

In the fifth edition of this textbook, author Paulo S.R. Diniz presents updated text on the basic concepts of adaptive signal processing and adaptive filtering. He first introduces the main classes of adaptive filtering algorithms in a unified framework, using clear notations that facilitate actual implementation. Algorithms are described in tables, which are detailed enough to allow the reader to verify the covered concepts. Examples address up-to-date problems drawn from actual applications.
