This book, published in honor of Professor Laurent Praly on the occasion of his 65th birthday, explores the responses of some leading international authorities to new challenges in nonlinear and adaptive control. The mitigation of the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity – ubiquitous features of real-world engineering and natural systems – on closed-loop stability and robustness being of crucial importance, the contributions report the latest research into overcoming these difficulties in:

• autonomous systems;
• reset control systems;
• multiple-input–multiple-output nonlinear systems;
• input delays;
• partial differential equations;
• population games; and
• data-driven control.

Trends in Nonlinear and Adaptive Control  presents research inspired by and related to Professor Praly’s lifetime of contributions to control theory and is a valuable additionto the literature of advanced control.
