This book has described a general stability analysis and control design framework for large-scale dynamical systems, with an emphasis on vector Lyapunov function methods, vector dissipativity theory, and decentralized control architectures. The large-scale dynamical systems are composed of interconnected subsystems whose relationships are often circular, giving rise to feedback interconnections. This leads to nonlinear models that can exhibit rich dynamical behavior, such as multiple equilibria, limit cycles, bifurcations, jump resonance phenomena, and chaos. The book concludes by discussing the potential for applying and extending the results across disciplines, such as economic systems, network systems, computer networks, telecommunication systems, power grid systems, and road, rail, air, and space transportation systems.

This book develops a general stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems, with an emphasis on vector Lyapunov function methods and vector dissipativity theory. It examines large-scale continuous-time interconnected dynamical systems and describes thermodynamic modeling of large-scale interconnected systems, along with the use of vector Lyapunov functions to control large-scale dynamical systems. It also discusses finite-time stabilization of large-scale systems via control vector Lyapunov functions, coordination control for multiagent interconnected systems, large-scale impulsive dynamical systems, finite-time stabilization of large-scale impulsive dynamical systems, and hybrid decentralized maximum entropy control for large-scale systems. This chapter provides a brief introduction to large-scale interconnected dynamical systems as well as an overview of the book's structure.

Modern complex large-scale dynamical systems exist in virtually every aspect of science and engineering, and are associated with a wide variety of physical, technological, environmental, and social phenomena, including aerospace, power, communications, and network systems, to name just a few. This book develops a general stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems, and presents the most complete treatment on vector Lyapunov function methods, vector dissipativity theory, and decentralized control architectures. Large-scale dynamical systems are strongly interconnected and consist of interacting subsystems exchanging matter, energy, or information with the environment. The sheer size, or dimensionality, of these systems necessitates decentralized analysis and control system synthesis methods for their analysis and design. Written in a theorem-proof format with examples to illustrate new concepts, this book addresses continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid large-scale systems. It develops finite-time stability and finite-time decentralized stabilization, thermodynamic modeling, maximum entropy control, and energy-based decentralized control. This book will interest applied mathematicians, dynamical systems theorists, control theorists, and engineers, and anyone seeking a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of large-scale interconnected dynamical systems and control.

The modeling, stability, and control characteristics of a large scale highly flexible solar-powered UAV with distributed all-span multielevons were presented. A geometrically nonlinear intrinsic beam model was introduced to establish the structural/flight dynamics coupled equation of motion (EOM); based on it, the explicit decoupled linear flight dynamics and structural dynamics EOM were derived through mean axis theory. Undeformed, deformed, and flexible models were compared through trimming and modal analysis. Since the deformation of wing has increased the UAV’s moment of inertia about the pitch axis, the frequency of short period mode has obviously decreased for the deformed model. The serious coupling between short period mode and 1st bending mode also significantly influences the roots of short period mode of flexible model. So flexible model was the only one which is able to accurately estimate the flight dynamics behaviors and was selected as the later control model. Forty distributed elevons and LQG/LTR controller were employed to control the attitude and suppress the aeroelastic deformation of the UAV simultaneously. The dynamics performance, robustness, and simulation results show that they were suitable for large scale highly flexible solar-powered UAV.
