- Smart Control of Complicated Nonlinear Systems

Nonlinear Control Research Team has published a large number of  papers in several IEEE Transactions.

The utility of our approach is demonstrated through well-known benchmark design examples and practical nonlinear systems.

The following lecture slides show the outline of our approach based on a sum-of-squares framework for nonlinear systems control and analysis. The lecture was presented in Tutorials of IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI 2016), Vancouver, Canada, July 2016.
