Introduction to Nonlinear ControlStability, Control Design, and Estimation\nAuthor(s): Christopher M. Kellett, Philipp Braun\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Princeton University Press, United States\nImprint: Princeton University Press\nISBN-13: 9780691240480, 978-0691240480\nSynopsis\nAn introductory text on the analysis, control, and estimation of nonlinear systems, appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students\n\nThis self-contained and accessible introduction to the concepts and techniques used for nonlinear feedback systems offers a holistic treatment suitable for use in both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses; students need only some familiarity with differential equations and linear algebra to understand the material presented. The text begins with an overview of stability and Lyapunov methods for nonlinear systems, with Lyapunovs second method revisited throughout the book as a connective thread. Other introductory chapters cover linear systems, frequencs
