Summary on Grant Application Form
1. Development of a formalism for the comparison of competing control designs w.r.t. to a variety of non-singular costfunctionals.2. Extending and improving the exisiting toolkit of results for estimating upper and lower bounds on such costfunctionals.3, The application of 1. and 2. above to significant open problems in nonlinear control theory, such as the comparisonbetween robust and adaptive controllers, the comparison between backstepping and tuning function controllers, andthe comparison between two classes of output feedback controllers.
