Nonlinear Systems Tracking

In this book, editor Lyubomir T. Gruyitch presents readers with an examination of the theory and practice of tracking, trackability, and tracking control synthesis for nonlinear processes and their varied control systems. The editor has organized the forty-three chapters and four appendices that make up the main body of the text in twelve parts devoted to systems and control bias, trackability, perfect tracking, imperfect tracking, stable tracking, the criteria for stable tracking, and a wide variety of other related subjects. Gruyitch is a retired faculty member of the University of Technology Belfort-Montbeliard, France. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Lyubomir T. Gruyitch, DSc, has very rich international academic and research experience. Now retired, he was a professor at the Ecole Nationale d'Ingenieurs, which integrated with the Institut Polytechnique de Sevenans into the University of Technology Belfort–Montbeliard, in France; the AECI professor of control in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa; and a professor of automatic control in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia. He has also been a visiting professor at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana; and the University of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, California. He continues to teach and participate at conferences on an invited basis. Dr. Gruyitch is the author of several published books and many scientific papers on dynamical systems, on control systems, and on time and its relativity. He has participated at many scientific conferences throughout the world. He has been honored with several awards, including the highest award by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade, for teaching and scientific contributions to the faculty, 1964–1992; and an award from the Yugoslav Air Force Academy for teaching achievements in the undergraduate course foundations of automatic control. Dr. Gruyitch is a Certified Mechanical Engineer (Dipl. M. Eng.), Master of Electrical Engineering Sciences (M. E. E. Sc.), and Doctor of Engineering Sciences (DSc), all from the University of Belgrade, Serbia.
