Preface

Stability of equilibrium points plays a fundamental role in dynamical systems. For nonlinear dynamical systems, which represent the majority of real plants, investigating stability requires characterizing the domain of attraction (DA) of an equilibrium point, i.e. the set of initial conditions from which the trajectory of the system converges to such a point. Unfortunately, it is well-known that estimating the DA, or even more attempting to control it, are very difficult problems due to the complex relationship of this set with the model of the system. This book addresses the estimation and control of the DA of equilibrium points via the newborn SOS programming, i.e. optimization techniques that have been recently developed based on polynomials that are sum of squares of polynomials (denoted hereafter as SOS polynomials) and that amount to solving convex optimization problems with linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints, also known as semidefinite programs (SDPs). It is shown for the first time in the literature how these issues can be addressed under a unified framework in various cases depending on the nature of the considered nonlinear systems, including the cases of polynomial systems, uncertain polynomial systems, and nonlinear non-polynomial systems (poss
