Robust Adaptive Control: Deadzone-Adapted Disturbance Suppression

Iasson Karafyllis is professor in the department of mathematics, NTUA, Greece. He is a coauthor (with Z.-P. Jiang) of Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems (Springer, 2011) and a coauthor (with M. Krstic) of Predictor Feedback for Delay Systems: Implementations and Approximations (Birkhäuser, 2017) and Input-to-State Stability for PDEs (Springer, 2019). He has been an associate editor for the International Journal of Control and for the IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information since 2013 and for Systems and Control Letters and Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems since 2019. His research interests include mathematical control theory and nonlinear systems theory.

Miroslav Krstic is distinguished professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and senior associate vice chancellor for research, holds the Alspach endowed chair, and is the founding director of the Cymer Center for Control Systems and Dynamics at the University of California, San Diego. He is Fellow of SIAM, IEEE, IFAC, ASME, AAAS, IET, AIAA (AF), and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. His awards include the SIAM Reid Prize, Bellman, Oldenburger, Ragazzini, Chestnut, Paynter, Nyquist Lecture, IFAC Nonlinear Control, IFAC Ruth Curtain DPS, Axelby, and Schuck (1996 and 2019). He is editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (2026-) and has served as editor-in-chief of Systems and Control Letters (2018-2025) and as senior editor of Automatica (2025-). Krstic has coauthored 19 books on adaptive, nonlinear, and stochastic control; extremum seeking; control of PDE systems including turbulent flows; and control of delay systems.
