Description
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
The monograph describes adaptive actuator failure compensation control schemes for systems with uncertain actuator failures . The monograph is a comprehensive and self-contained exposition supposing the knowledge of linear systems and feedback control at the undergraduate level. Graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in the areas of control engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics will appreciate this book as a significant up-to-date technical reference in the field.
