Today we can use physics to describe in great detail many of the phenomena intervening in
the process of life. But no analogous unified description exists for the phenomenon of life …

Variable-structure controls are normally understood to be controls that have sliding modes
and robustness as their main objective. In addition to sliding-mode controls, there are also …

This paper presents a novel policy iteration approach for finding online adaptive optimal
controllers for continuous-time linear systems with completely unknown system dynamics …

In this paper, two online schemes for an integrated design of fault-tolerant control (FTC)
systems with application to Tennessee Eastman (TE) benchmark are proposed. Based on …

We prove that if a component of the response signal of a controllable linear time-invariant
system is persistently exciting of sufficiently high order, then the windows of the signal span …

Adaptive control is a control methodology capable of dealing with uncertain systems to
ensure desired control performance. This paper provides an overview of some fundamental …

Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications provides a detailed treatment of the
design of robust adaptive controllers for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. The authors …

Adaptive Control (second edition) shows how a desired level of system performance can be
maintained automatically and in real time, even when process or disturbance parameters …

A new method to design asymptotically stabilizing and adaptive control laws for nonlinear
systems is presented. The method relies upon the notions of system immersion and manifold …

Environmental quality is becoming an increasing concern in our society. In that context,
waste and wastewater treatment, and more specifically biological wastewater treatment …
