Preface

When I tried to design output feedback controllers for nonlinear control systems, I found that design methods are limited. I thought that a cellular process in living organisms, such as the blood glucose control system, would be a perfect feedback control system because the cellular process should be tightly controlled so that cells in the living organism can carry out numerous tasks to survive. Thus I was wondering whether I can get inspiration fro
