Beschreibung
This volume presents a well balanced combination of state-of-the-art theoretical results in the field of nonlinear controller and observer design, combined with industrial applications stemming from mechatronics, electrical, (bio-) chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics. The unique combination of results of finite as well as infinite-dimensional systems makes this book a remarkable contribution addressing postgraduates, researchers, and engineers both at universities and in industry. The contributions to this book were presented at the Symposium on Nonlinear Control and Observer Design: From Theory to Applications (SYNCOD), held September 15-16, 2005, at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. The conference and this book are dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.h.c. Michael Zeitz to honor his life - long research and contributions on the fields of nonlinear control and observer design.
