AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking nonlinear control methods based on Lyapunov theory, specifically those that can explicitly define the "region of attraction," such as Control Lyapunov Functions (CLF) and Backstepping methods. Participants recommend resources for understanding nonlinear control, highlighting Vidyasagar's work as essential for control engineers. Additionally, the book "Applied Nonlinear Control" by Slotine and Li is suggested as a beginner-friendly introduction to the concepts without heavy mathematics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in nonlinear control theory for effective application. Overall, the thread serves as a resource-sharing platform for those interested in advancing their understanding of nonlinear control methods.

Hi all

I am looking for different nonlinear control methods based on lyapunov theory.
Indeed I should use a method which give the "region of attraction" explicitly such as CLF and Bakhstepping methods.

Can enyone help me and introduce me some otehr methods?

Many thanks in advance.

I don't know much about nonlinear control theory, but I have heard that the book by Vidyasagar (same person who wrote the Robotics book) is a must read for all control engineers for non linear control.
 
Read : Slotine J.J.E., Li, W., "Applied nonlinear control", Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1991.

it is a good book for starters. Not too mathematical. It will introduce you to the concepts of nonlinear controls.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
