Advances in Gain-Scheduling and Fault Tolerant Control Techniques

Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Control Engineering group of the Comité Español de Automática (CEA)

Reports on a novel approach to robust and performance-based state feedback control

Describes potential fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategies for gain-scheduled systems

Offers a comprehensive review of gain-scheduling and fault-tolerant control (FTC) methods

Discusses the similarities between linear parameter varying and Takagi-Sugeno (TS) systems
