This book provides recent theoretical developments in and practical applications of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for complex dynamical systems, including uncertain systems, linear and nonlinear systems. Combining adaptive control technique with other control methodologies, it investigates the problems of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for uncertain dynamic systems with or without time delay.

As such, the book provides readers a solid understanding of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control based on adaptive control technology. Given its depth and breadth, it is well suited for undergraduate and graduate courses on linear system theory, nonlinear system theory, fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control techniques. Further, it can be used as a reference source for academic research on fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control, and for postgraduates in the field of control theory and engineering. 

This book provides recent theoretical results and applications of the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control for the nonlinear systems with higher input powers. Combining adaptive control technique, fuzzy logic systems, neural networks, Observer-based methods with the other control technique or approaches, this book investigates the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control problem of the nonlinear systems with higher input powers and proposes the corresponding diagnostic mechanisms, Fault estimation algorithm and fault-tolerant control schemes. This book intends to provide the readers a good understanding on fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of the nonlinear systems with higher input powers based on adaptive control technology. This book can serve as a reference for the main research issues and results on nonlinear systems with higher input powers for researchers devoting to various areas of fault-tolerant control theory, as well as a material for graduate and undergraduate students interested in nonlinear system control, especially fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control, and their applications. Some prerequisites for reading this book include nonlinear system theory, matrix theory, mathematics, basic graph theory, and so on.
