The book consists mainly of two parts:
- Chapter 1 -
- Chapter 7 and
- Chapter 8 -
- Chapter 14.
- Chapter 1 and
- Chapter 2 treat design techniques based on linearization of nonlinear systems. An analysis of nonlinear system over quantum mechanics is discussed in
- Chapter 3.
- Chapter 4 to
- Chapter 7 are estimation methods using Kalman filtering while solving nonlinear control systems using iterative approach. Optimal approaches are discussed in
- Chapter 8 with retarded control of nonlinear system in singular situation, and
- Chapter 9 extends optimal theory to H-infinity control for a nonlinear control system.
- Chapter s 10 and 11 present the control of nonlinear dynamic systems, twin-rotor helicopter and 3D crane system, which are both underactuated, cascaded dynamic systems.
- Chapter 12 applies controls to antisynchronization/synchronization in the chaotic models based on Lyapunov exponent theorem, and
- Chapter 13 discusses developed stability analytic approaches in terms of Lyapunov stability. The analysis of economic activities, especially the relationship between stock return and economic growth, is presented in
- Chapter 14.
