INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL

http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/1049-8923/

The intention of the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control is to encourage the development of analysis and design techniques for uncertain systems. The Journal will provide a natural forum for papers on the theory and application of robust control system design, including contributions on the H and loop transfer recovery design philosophies. Papers will also be welcome on methods of improving the robustness of well-established design procedures such as the Inverse Nyquist Array, Sequential Return Difference, Characteristic Loci and Linear Quadratic Gaussian methods.

The wider issues of modelling and identifying uncertain systems will also be addressed, and analysis procedures such as the Structured Singular Value will be of interest. Papers on applications will be particularly encouraged. Control techniques based on Heuristic or rule based design methods for uncertain systems will be considered, together with procedures based on fuzzy set theory.

Contributions on the design of controllers for nonlinear systems will be included, particularly where these involve robust design issues. The main thrust of the Journal is on the control of uncertain systems but it is recognized that nonlinearities cause robust design problems of a similar nature.
