Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Nonlinear Systems (eBook)

Bao-Zhu Guo, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China; University of the Witwatersrand, South Africahas been working on control theory since his PhD studies in the Chinese university of Hong Kong from 1987-1991. His main expertise is in control theory for systems described by partial differential equations or infinite-dimensional systems. In this area, he has published over 160 articles in international journals and three books. In 1999, Prof. Guo was awarded the One Hundred Talent Program from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Other honours include the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (2003) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the One Hundred Talent Program from Shanxi Province, China (2009). Zhi-Liang Zhao, Shaanxi Normal University, China is currently an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics. His research expertise is the convergence of active disturbance rejection control and is working on extending its application to more general nonlinear systems.
