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 mat
