Robust nonlinear control

Control of nonlinear systems is conventionally based on cancellation of nonlinearities so that it is vulnerable to disturbances and uncertainties. The aim of the research is to develop control design methodologies which enhance robustness of nonlinear systems by avoiding wasteful cancellation and exploiting useful nonlinearities. Numerical computation for such nonlinear systems designs is also investigated. The application of the theory includes biological and communication networks, aircrafts, automobiles, ships, DC-to-DC regulators, control of wastewater treatment plants and so on.
