This book presents several novel constructive methodologies for global stabilization and H-infinity control in switched dynamic systems by using the systems’ structure information. The main features of these new approaches are twofold: i) Novel Lyapunov functions are constructed and new switching strategies are designed to guarantee global finite-time stabilization of the closed-loop switched dynamic systems,while ii) without posing any internal stability requirements on subsystems, the standard H-infinity control problem of the switched dynamic systems is solved by means of dwell-time switching techniques. Systematically presenting constructive methods for analyzing and synthesizing switched systems, the content is of great significance to theoretical research and practical applications involving switched systems alike. The book provides a unified framework for stability analysis, stabilization and H-infinity control of switched systems, making it a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students who want to learn about the state of the art in the analysis and synthesis of switched systems, as well as recent advances in switched linear systems. In addition, it offers a wealth of cutting-edge constructive methods and algorithm designs for researchers who work with switched dynamic systems and graduate students of control theory and control engineering. .

Uncertain time-delays can reduce the performance of hydraulic manipulator control systems. Variations in the time delay between, for example, an applied voltage and the associated manipulator movement, may be caused by the internal dynamics of the system and other nonlinear characteristics, such as fluid compressibility, dead-band of the pump, valve flow properties and friction characteristics. Robot control that addresses system time-delays, nonlinearities and uncertainty is the subject of much research but, whilst the specific concept of varying time delays in hydraulic systems is sometimes acknowledged, it appears to be less widely investigated than other types of uncertainty. The present article discuses some of the issues involved, exemplified by a dual manipulator device used in the laboratory for research into nuclear decommissioning, and presents a review of the relevant control literature in this area.
