Time-Synchronized Control and Applications for Autonomous Systems presents a pioneering approach to control problems by introducing time-synchronized stability, where every system state converges to the origin simultaneously. This innovative concept addresses unique finite, fixed, or predefined-time stability considerations, marking a significant advancement in control theory. The book offers readers a thorough understanding of both the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of time-synchronized control, emphasizing its potential to transform the management of autonomous systems. With clear explanations and real-world examples, it serves as an essential resource for engineers, researchers, and students involved in modern control systems.
In addition to its core focus, the book explores a broad spectrum of practical applications, such as spacecraft attitude control, satellite orbit management, dynamic vessel positioning, and cooperative control of autonomous vehicles. It examines various control system models, including disturbed, chaotic, multi-input multi-output (MIMO), nonlinear, and Euler-Lagrange systems.
