H-Systems: Observability, Diagnosability, and Predictability of Hybrid Dynamical Systems

本書專注於混合系統的可觀察性。它使讀者能夠確定混合系統的狀態是否可以從有時必然是部分信息中重建。通過解釋如何使用可用的測量來推斷系統的過去和未來行為，作者將可觀察性的研究擴展到包括診斷性和可預測性的特性。

《H-系統》展示了連續和離散動態及其相互作用如何影響這一類混合系統的可觀察性，並證明了混合特性並不僅僅是傳統動態的概括。作者確定了狀態重建、預測和診斷可能故障狀態發生的條件。證明這些混合系統性質的正式方法配有簡單的示例。對於對狀態估計在控制器設計中感興趣的讀者，本書還提供了混合狀態觀測器的設計方法，並介紹了它們在一些工業案例中的應用。

本書以教學的方式介紹了混合系統的各種可觀察性形式，對於從事控制領域的學術研究人員和研究生以及在工業環境中使用控制的從業人員都具有吸引力。

Professor Di Benedetto is an IEEE Life Fellow and an IFAC Fellow. She has been serving the IEEE-CSS as Vice-President since 2021. She is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE-CSS. She is Chair of the IFAC Nichols Medal Selection Committee and a member of the IFAC Fellow Selection Committee for the 2020-2023 triennium. She has been a member of the European Control Award Committee since 2021.

Professor Di Benedetto's research interests are in the areas of nonlinear and hybrid systems control theory, diagnosability and predictability in cyber-physical systems, and applications to smart grids, traffic control, and automotive and biological systems. On these topics, she has authored or co- authored more than 300 scientific papers in international journals, edited volumes and conferences. Professor Di Benedetto has been active in fostering the development of Hybrid Systems theory and control and participated in several pioneering European projects and in the Networks of Excellence HYCON and HYCON2, where she has been a Member of the Governing Board and of the Executive Committee. She is Editor of the IEEE Press Series on Control Systems Theory and Applications, Senior Editor of the IFAC Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, and Member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control.
