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

Iasson Karafyllis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, NTUA, Greece. He is a coauthor (with Z.-P. Jiang) of the book Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems, Springer-Verlag London (Series: Communications and Control Engineering), 2011 and a coauthor (with M. Krstic) of the book Predictor Feedback for Delay Systems: Implementations and Approximations, Birkhäuser, Boston (Series: Mathematics, Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications), 2017. Since 2013 he is an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Control and for the IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information. His research interests include mathematical control theory and nonlinear systems theory. Miroslav Krstic is Distinguished Professor, Alspach endowed chair, founding director of the Cymer Center for Control Systems and Dynamics, and Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research at UC San Diego. Krstic is Fellow of IEEE, IFAC, ASME, SIAM, AAAS, and IET (UK), Associate Fellow of AIAA, and foreign member of the Academy of Engineering of Serbia. He has received ASME Oldenburger Medal, ASME Nyquist Lecture Prize, ASME Paynter Outstanding Investigator Award, the PECASE, NSF Career, and ONR Young Investigator awards, the Axelby and Schuck paper prizes, the Chestnut textbook prize, and the first UCSD Research Award given to an engineer. Krstic has also been awarded the Distinguished Visiting Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Invitation Fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Krstic has coauthored twelve books on adaptive, nonlinear, and stochastic control, extremum seeking, control of PDE systems including turbulent flows, and control of delay systems.
