Publisher's Synopsis
Extremum Seeking through Delays and PDEs, the first book on the topic, expands the scope of applicability of the extremum seeking method, from static and finite-dimensional systems to infinite-dimensional systems. Readers will find:Numerous algorithms for model-free real-time optimization are developed and their convergence guaranteed.Extensions from single-player optimization to noncooperative games, under delays and PDEs, are provided.The delays and pdes are compensated in the control designs using the PDE backstepping approach, and stability is ensured using infinite-dimensional versions of averaging theory. Accessible and powerful tools for analysis.This book is intended for control engineers in all disciplines (electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical), mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and economists. It is appropriate for graduate students, researchers, and industrial users.
