Title: Nonlinear feedback analysis: back to the future
Abstract: Zames proposal in 1960 was to ground the theory of feedback systems in incremental input-output analysis. Sixty years later, nonlinear control is predominantly state-space and non-incremental. The talk will examine current practical limitations of nonlinear control in the light of that history. I will then describe the potential of recent operator-theoretic results to overcome some of those limitations and to motivate a revival of Zames proposal. Joint work with Tom Chaffey, Fulvio Forni, and Henk Van Waarde. https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.04879 https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.11272 https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.11735
The webinar is organized by Claudia Califano (vice-chair education of IFAC TC 2.3), Bayu Jayawardhana (vice-chair publication of IFAC TC 2.3), Christophe Prieur (chair of IFAC TC 2.3 Non-linear Control Systems) and Andrea Serrani (chair of IEEE TC Nonlinear Systems and Control).
