Author Description

With the recognition that a well developed linear control theory now exists, more research is being directed towards nonlinear aspects of general control systems. This volume is concerned with one specific class of nonlinear systems, namely, deterministic systems with control signal saturation.Within this class, relay control systems form an important and clearly identifiable category. Optimal synthesis or feedback control is emphasised throughout.
