Everything changed in the Sixties, not least music. At the heart of this mesmerizing decade was the electric guitar. Bent, distorted, reverbed and overloaded, its sound drove some of the most revolutionary music ever made. This colorful book, decked out with 340 color photos and four fold-out spreads, traces the guitars, players and music of the '60s year by year - from folk-rock to surf to psychedelia, plus jazz, blues and country. A special section features The Beatles and their influential axes.

Most real physical systems are nonlinear in nature. Control and?ltering of nonlinear systems are still open problems due to their complexity natures. These problem becomes more complex when the system's parameters are - certain. A common approach to designing a controller/?lter for an uncertain nonlinear system is to linearize the system about an operating point, and uses linear control theory to design a controller/?lter. This approach is successful when the operating point of the system is restricted to a certain region. H- ever, when a wide range operation of the system is required, this method may fail. ThisbookpresentsnewnovelmethodologiesfordesigningrobustH fuzzy? controllers and robustH fuzzy?lters for a class of uncertain fuzzy systems? (UFSs), uncertain fuzzy Markovian jump systems (UFMJSs), uncertain fuzzy singularly perturbed systems (UFSPSs) and uncertain fuzzy singularly p- turbed systems with Markovian jumps (UFSPS-MJs). These new meth- ologies provide a framework for designing robustH fuzzy controllers and? robustH fuzzy?lters for these classes of systems based on a Tagaki-Sugeno? (TS) fuzzy model. Solutions to the design problems are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). To investigate the design problems, we?rst describe a class of uncertain nonlinear systems (UNSs), uncertain nonlinear Markovianjumpsystems(UNMJSs), uncertainnonlinearsingularlyperturbed systems(UNSPSs)anduncertainnonlinearsingularlyperturbedsystemswith Markovian jumps (UNSPS-MJs) by a TS fuzzy system with parametric - certainties and with/without Markovian jumps. Then, based on an LMI - proach, we develop a technique for designing robustH fuzzy controllers and? robustH fuzzy?lters such that a given prescribed performance index is? guaranteed.

This book presents recent research on the stability analysis of polynomial-fuzzy-model-based control systems where the concept of partially/imperfectly matched premises and membership-function dependent analysis are considered. The membership-function-dependent analysis offers a new research direction for fuzzy-model-based control systems by taking into account the characteristic and information of the membership functions in the stability analysis. The book presents on a research level the most recent and advanced research results, promotes the research of polynomial-fuzzy-model-based control systems, and provides theoretical support and point a research direction to postgraduate students and fellow researchers. Each chapter provides numerical examples to verify the analysis results, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed polynomial fuzzy control schemes, and explain the design procedure. The book is comprehensively written enclosing detailed derivation steps and mathematical derivations also for readers without extensive knowledge on the topics including students with control background who are interested in polynomial fuzzy model-based control systems.
