From the reviews:
"‘The book is helpful to learn and understand the fundamental backstepping schemes’. It can be used as an additional textbook on adaptive control for advanced students. Control researchers, especially those working in adaptive nonlinear control, will also widely benefit from this book." (Jacek Kabzinski, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 b)

Employs the powerful and popular adaptive backstepping control technology to design controllers for dynamic uncertain systems with non-smooth nonlinearities Presents recent research as well as a self-contained coverage of fundamentals on the backstepping approach illustrated with simple examples
