Summary
This monograph introduces a newly developed robust-control design technique for a wide class of continuous-time dynamical systems called the "attractive ellipsoid method." Along with a coherent introduction to the proposed control design and related topics, the monograph studies nonlinear affine control systems in the presence of uncertainty and presents a constructive and easily implementable control strategy that guarantees certain stability properties. The authors discuss linear-style feedback control synthesis in the context of the above-mentioned systems. The development and physical impl
