Abstract:Complicated multi-domain systems are usually described in terms of modelling languages. These models are mainly used for simulation. We discuss the usage of an algorithmic plant description for nonlinear controller design based on differential geometric concepts. The design procedures themselves are often formulated in terms of Lie derivatives. These derivatives are typically computed symbolically. The symbolic manipulations require an explicit description of the plant by formulae and expressions. Moreover, th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
