Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems

Thisbrieffocusesonthe structural properties of nonlineartime-delay systems. It provides a link between coverage of fundamental theoretical properties andadvanced control algorithms, as well as suggesting a path for the generalization ofthe differential geometric approach to time-delay systems. Thebriefbegins with an introduction to a class ofsingle-input nonlineartime-delay systems. It then focuses on geometric methods treating them and offers a geometric framework for integrability. The book has chapters dedicated to the accessibility and observability of nonlinear time-delay systems, allowing readers to understand the systems in a well-ordered, structured way. Finally, thebriefconcludes with applications of integrability and the control of single-input time-delay systems. Thisbriefemploys exercises and examples to familiarize readers with the time-delay context. It is ofinterest to researchers, engineers and postgraduate students who work in the area of nonlinear control systems.
