Nonlinear Stochastic Control and Filtering with Engineering-oriented Complexities

This book presents a series of control and filtering approaches for stochastic systems with traditional and emerging engineering-oriented complexities. Each chapter includes investigations of stability, robust performance, reliability, and/or disturbance attenuation. The text describes novel methodologies that can be applied extensively in lab simulations, field experiments, and real-world engineering practices to address challenges such as random delays, randomly occurring nonlinearities, time-variant nonlinearities, and more. Thus, this book provides a valuable reference for researchers and professionals in the signal processing and control engineering communities.

Nonlinear Stochastic Control and Filtering with Engineering-oriented Complexities presents a series of control and filtering approaches for stochastic systems with traditional and emerging engineering-oriented complexities. The book begins with an overview of the relevant background, motivation, and research problems, and then:

• Discusses the robust stability and stabilization problems for a class of stochastic time-delay interval systems with nonlinear disturbances
• Investigates the robust stabilization and H8 control problems for a class of stochastic time-delay uncertain systems with Markovian switching and nonlinear disturbances
• Explores the H8 state estimator and H8 output feedback controller design issues for stochastic time-delay systems with nonlinear disturbances, sensor nonlinearities, and Markovian jumping parameters
• Analyzes the H8 performance for a general class of nonlinear stochastic systems with time delays, where the addressed systems are described by general stochastic functional differential equations
• Studies the filtering problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic nonlinear time-delay systems with missing measurement and stochastic disturbances
• Uses gain-scheduling techniques to tackle the probability-dependent control and filtering problems for time-varying nonlinear systems with incomplete information
• Evaluates the filtering problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic nonlinear networked control systems with multiple random communication delays and random packet losses
• Examines the filtering problem for a class of nonlinear genetic regulatory networks with state-dependent stochastic disturbances and state delays
• Considers the H8 state estimation problem for a class of discrete-time complex networks with probabilistic missing measurements and randomly occurring coupling delays
• Addresses the H8 synchronization control problem for a class of dynamical networks with randomly varying nonlinearities
