Previous research on finite/fixed/predefi... control and its relevant sliding mode structures focus on forcing a system state (vector) to converge within a certain time moment, regardless of how each state element converges. Time-Synchronized Control and Applications for Autonomous Systems introduces a control problem with unique finite/fixed/predefi... stability considerations, namely time-synchronized stability, where at the same time, all the system state elements converge to the origin. This book also delves into the wide-ranging applications of time-synchronized control in various practical control systems, including but not limited to spacecraft attitude control/tracking, satellite orbit control, dynamic positioning of vessels, cooperative control of autonomous vehicles, etc. In addition, a diverse array of control system models are considered, encompassing disturbed systems, chaotic systems, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, nonlinear systems, and Euler-Lagrange systems. Through an in-depth exploration of these specific cases, this book showcases the versatility and effectiveness of time-synchronized control methods across different domains, providing readers with a comprehensive perspective on their practical utility.

Stabilization of Uncertain Fractional-Order Neutral-Type Delay Systems

Stabilization of Uncertain Fractional-Order Neutral-Type Delay Systems focuses on stabilizing uncertain fractional-order (FO) neutral-type (FONT) systems, addressing challenges like control input saturation and actuator delay. Beginning with a comprehensive introduction, it progresses from constant fractional-order FONT (CFONT) systems to variable fractional-order FONT (VFONT) systems. It explores non-optimal and sub-optimal control techniques, such as guaranteed cost controllers (GCC), offering closed-loop stability and performance. Stabilization conditions are presented as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), facilitating easy resolution with available toolboxes like Matlab's LMI toolbox, or free software such as SEDUMI and YALMIP. The book investigates both state- and output-feedback controller structures. While most literature focuses on state-feedback control, the book acknowledges the limitations of accessing all system states and explores output-feedback control as an alternative. Both static and dynamic feedback controller types are studied, with dynamic feedback controllers offering improved transient response at the expense of increased complexity.
