Delay Compensation for Nonlinear, Adaptive, and PDE Systems

Some of the most common dynamic phenomena that arise in engineering practice actuator and sensor delays fall outside the scope of standard finite-dimensional system theory. The first attempt at infinite-dimensional feedback design in the field of control systems the Smith predictor has remained limited to linear finite-dimensional plants over the last five decades. Shedding light on new opportunities in predictor feedback, this book significantly broadens the set of techniques available to a mathematician or engineer working on delay systems.
