DIFFERENTIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR ROBUST NONLINEAR CONTROL
Identification, State Estimation and Trajectory Tracking

by Alexander S Poznyak, Edgar N Sanchez & Wen Yu (CINVESTAV-IPN, Mexico)

This book deals with continuous time dynamic neural networks theory applied to the solution of basic problems in robust control theory, including identification, state space estimation (based on neuro-observers) and trajectory tracking. The plants to be identified and controlled are assumed to be a priori unknown but belonging to a given class containing internal unmodelled dynamics and external perturbations as well. The error stability analysis and the corresponding error bounds for different problems are presented. The effectiveness of the suggested approach is illustrated by its application to various controlled physical systems (robotic, chaotic, chemical, etc.).

"This book is the result of many years of research and publications by the authors. Overall, it is a good one that could benefit the researchers and practitioners in the field of intelligent nonlinear control systems. Design methods and analytical results are well presented and substantiated by closely-related simulation examples and engineering applications. It is a very good addition to the libraries of those interested in the subject. It is also qualified to be used as a postgraduate-level reference."
