Computer-aided Nonlinear Control System Design: Using Describing Function Models

Computer-aided Nonlinear Control System Design works with a large class of nonlinear systems without restrictions on system order, number of inputs/outputs, or number, type, or arrangement of nonlinear terms. The detailed methods within the book facilitate fulfillment of tight performance requirements and help designers think in purely non-linear terms; users can avoid substantial and unrealistic model limitations, which drive up the cost of the final product.

Many key MATLAB functions are presented to allow easy design of nonlinear feedback systems.
