Ji Wang and Miroslav Krstic develop control algorithms for complex PDE-ODE systems in undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevators, operating with rigorous mathematical guarantees in the presence of real-world challenges. The book leverages the PDE backstepping approach and expands its scope in adaptive control, delay systems, and event-triggered control.

Control applications in undersea construction, cable elevators, and offshore drilling present major methodological challenges due to the complexity of the systems involved. These systems involve PDE systems (cables and drillstrings) of time-varying length, coupled with ODE systems (the attached loads or tools) that usually have unknown parameters and unmeasured states. In response to these challenges, Ji Wang and Miroslav Krstic have developed control algorithms in PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion.

Motivated by physical systems, the algorithms in this book are designed to operate with rigorous mathematical guarantees in the presence of real-world challenges such as unknown parameters, unmeasured distributed states, environmental disturbances, delays, and event-triggered implementations. The book leverages the power of the PDE backstepping approach and expands its scope in many directions.

Filled with theoretical innovations and comprehensive in its coverage, PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion provides new design tools and mathematical techniques with far-reaching potential in adaptive control, delay systems, and event-triggered control.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of control engineering, particularly those working on undersea construction, cable elevators, and offshore drilling. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations and practical applications of PDE control, enabling researchers to develop innovative solutions to complex control problems.
