Geometric Theory and Control of Linear Parameter Varying Systems
: Linear Parameter Varying(LPV) systems appear in a form of LTI state space representations where the elements of the A(ρ), B(ρ), C(ρ) matrices can depend on an unknown but at a...

Nonlinear dynamics modelling for controller evolution
The problem of how to acquire a model of a physical robot, which is fit for evolution of controllers that can subsequently be used to control that robot, is considered in the con...
