This monograph presents the fundamentals of global stabilization and optimal control of nonlinear systems with uncertain models. It offers a unified view of deterministic disturbance attenuation, stochastic control, and adaptive control for nonlinear systems. The book addresses a large audience of researchers, students, engineers and mathematicians in the areas of robust and adaptive nonlinear control, nonlinear H... stochastic nonlinear control (including risk-sensitive), and other related areas of control an d dynamical systems theory.

Offers a novel, unified view of stochastic and adaptive control of nonlinear systems Addresses a large audienceresearchers, students, engineers and mathematicians Clear, systematic presentation of the work
