Nonlinear and Constrained Control: Applications, Synergies, Challenges and Opportunities
暫譯: 非線性與受限控制：應用、協同效應、挑戰與機會

本書聚焦於受限控制（constrained control）與非線性控制（nonlinear control）的最新進展及其應用。第一部分著重於理論層面，強調受限控制與非線性控制之間的協同效應，並說明其中的挑戰與機會。第二部分則探討實際應用。本書內容源自於比利時皇家學院舉辦的一場研討會。

本書收錄來自學術界與產業界作者的研究成果。每一章都會介紹特定研究領域、報告最新發現，並探討目前面臨的挑戰與未來的研究機會。對於有意了解受限控制與非線性控制最新發展的讀者而言，本書可作為入門讀物。

Emanuele Garone received his Ph.D. in Systems Engineering in 2009 from the University of Calabria, Italy, where he also worked as a post-doc and appointed professor until 2010. In 2010, Prof. Garone became associate professor (Charge' de Cours) with the Service d'Automatique et d'Analyse des Systemes (SAAS) of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, where he leads one of the two research groups of the department. Since 2022, he holds the title of Professeur in the same department. The main research focus of Prof. Garone is constrained control, with a particular emphasis on the development of low-computational cost schemes for nonlinear systems such as Reference Governors and Explicit Reference Governors. Notably, he co-authored the only survey paper on reference/command governor schemes and is actively involved in several dissemination activities (e.g., tutorials, seminars, workshops) on the subject.

Ilya Kolmanovsky received his Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1995, his M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1993 and his M.A. degree in Mathematics in 1995, all from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is presently a Pierre T. Kabamba Collegiate Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. Professor Kolmanovsky's research interests are in control theory for systems with state and control constraints and in control applications to automotive and aerospace systems. He is a fellow of IEEE, a fellow of IFAC, a fellow of US National Academy of Inventors, an associate fellow of AIAA, a recipient of the Donald P. Eckman Award of American Automatic Control Council, of 2002 and 2016 IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Awards, of SICE Technology Award and of Huebner Research Excellence Award from the University of Michigan. He is the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology.

Tam W. Nguyen received his M.S. degree in Mechatronics Engineering in 2014 and Ph.D. degree in Control Systems in 2018 from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Department, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, from 2019 to 2020. Since 2021, he has been an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Toyama, Japan. His interests include robotics and nonlinear and optimal control.

Emanuele Garone 於 2009 年取得義大利 University of Calabria 的系統工程博士學位，並於 2010 年以前在該校擔任博士後研究員及受聘教授。2010 年，Garone 教授成為 Université Libre de Bruxelles 之 Service d'Automatique et d'Analyse des Systemes（SAAS）的副教授（Charge' de Cours），並在該系所領導兩個研究團隊之一。自 2022 年起，他於同一系所擔任 Professeur。Garone 教授的主要研究領域為受限控制（constrained control），特別著重於為非線性系統開發低計算成本的控制方法，例如 Reference Governors 與 Explicit Reference Governors。值得注意的是，他共同撰寫了唯一一篇關於 reference/command governor 方法的調查論文，並積極參與該主題的各項推廣活動，例如教學課程、研討會與工作坊。
