Stability Analysis and Controller Synthesis for a Class of Piecewise Smooth S...kerachian
The document outlines the structure and major contributions of a dissertation on stability analysis and controller synthesis for piecewise smooth systems. The dissertation proposes:
1. A two-step method to synthesize controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems described by piecewise affine differential inclusions.
2. A duality-based interpretation of piecewise affine systems that enables convex optimization formulations for controller synthesis.
3. A nonsmooth backstepping approach for controller synthesis of piecewise smooth systems.
4. A time-delay approach for stability analysis of sampled-data piecewise affine systems.
