>>Editors: Professor Michael A. Henson (Louisiana State University)
>> Professor Dale E. Seborg (Univ. of California, Santa
>Barbara)
>>>Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR
>>Publication Date: December, 1996
>>ISBN 0-13-625179-X (1996)
>>Price: $80
>>>SCOPE
>>>This unique book is intended as an introduction to the design,
>analysis, and
>>application of nonlinear control strategies for process control
>problems.
>>Individual chapters on critical topics have been prepared by leading
>>academic and industrial researchers. In order to make the monograph
>>accessible to a larger audience, a balanced view of the theoretical
>and
>>practical issues is presented. However, the very nature of nonlinear
>>systems dictates the use of some advanced mathematical tools. Case
>>studies are presented to illustrate the controller design procedures.
>>Comparisons with linear control techniques also are included in order
>>to demonstrate the performance improvements that can be achieved by
>employing
>>a nonlinear control strategy.
