Extremum Seeking through Delays and PDEs, the first book on the topic, expands the scope of applicability of the extremum seeking method, from static and finite-dimensional systems to infinite-dimensional systems. Readers will find:Numerous algorithms for model-free real-time optimization are developed and their convergence guaranteed.Extensions from single-player optimization to noncooperative games, under delays and PDEs, are provided.The delays and pdes are compensated in the control designs using the PDE backstepping approach, and stability is ensured using infinite-dimensional versions of averaging theory. Accessible and powerful tools for analysis.This book is intended for control engineers in all disciplines (electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical), mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and economists. It is appropriate for graduate students, researchers, and industrial users.

This book reflects the latest developments in sliding-mode control (SMC) and variable-structure systems (VSS), comprising contributions by leading researchers and an international range of experts. Such contributions highlight advances in various branches of the field—conventional and higher-order SMC with continuous- and discrete-time implementation and theory and applications both receive attention.The book consists of six parts. In the first, new SMC/VSS algorithms are proposed and their properties are analyzed. The second part focuses on the use of observers to solve the estimation and output-feedback control problems. The third part discusses the discretization aspects of SMC algorithms. Parts IV and V provide important insights on the use of adaptation laws for non-overestimated control gains and chattering alleviation. The last part examines the applications of these SMC/VSS ideas to real-world systems. Sliding-Mode Control and Variable-Structure Systems introduces postgraduates and researchers to the state of the art in the field. It includes theory, methods, and applications relevant to workers in disciplines including control, automation, applied mathematics, electrical and mechanical engineering, instrumentation, electronics, computer science, robotics, transportation, and power engineering. Its clear style and deep exposition help readers to keep in touch with tools that are, thanks to the robustness and insensitivity to perturbations of the SMC/VSS paradigm, among the most efficient for dealing with uncertain systems.

This brief focuses on the challenges and solutions related to (specifically) output delays in sliding-mode-controlled systems; in some cases input delays could be incorporated by analogy. It treats the complexity introduced in sliding-mode control by delay and addresses potential issues connected with reduced robustness. It emphasizes delay types of practical importance in such different contexts as: fault reconstruction, disturbance rejection and stabilization.The authors provide a snapshot of current understanding while laying foundations that will remain relevant as the field advances. The text balances rigor and accessibility, breadth and depth, and theoretical development and practical application. It provides the reader with specialized tools to tackle the challenges posed by the growth in input and output delays following on inevitably from the increasing prevalence of networked and distributed systems.Sliding-Mode Control and Estimation for Time-Delay Systems is primarily intended for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers working on robust and nonlinear control of time-delay systems. Students will find it to be a structured entry point into an important subfield of robust control. Researchers will gain a comprehensive reference on the state of the art and key open problems. Practitioners will find actionable design methodologies and implementation guidelines tailored to real-world challenges.
