Actuator Saturation Control

Compiling the most significant advances from nearly a decade of research, this reference compares and evaluates a wide variety of techniques for the design, analysis, and implementation of control methodologies for systems with actuator saturation. It presents efficient computational algorithms and control paradigms for application in the mechanical, electrical, and aerospace industries. The book provides concise tutorials on recent breakthroughs in the field, novel procedures to achieve global stability, optimal performance, and dynamic anti-windup, practical strategies to model and predict actuator dynamics, effective methods to reduce system sensitivity to external disturbances, and more.
