DESCRIPTION:Also available via Zoom\n\nThe Nonlinear Small-Gain Theory for 
 Networks and Control\n\nThe world is nonlinear and linked. Small-gain theor
 y is one of the most important tools to tackle fundamentally challenging co
 ntrol problems for interconnected linear and nonlinear systems. In this tal
 k\, I will first review early developments in nonlinear small-gain theorems
  and associated nonlinear control design and show how it served as a basic 
 tool to unify numerous results in constructive nonlinear control. Then\, I 
 will present recent developments in network/cyclic small-gain theorems for 
 complex large-scale nonlinear systems\, with a special focus on event-trigg
 ered control and feedback optimization. Finally\, I will discuss briefly ho
 w machine learning techniques can be invoked to relax the conservativeness 
 of small-gain designs\, that falls into the emerging area of learning-based
  control\, a new direction in control theory.\n\nBio: Zhong-Ping Jiang rece
 ived the B.Sc. degree in mathematics from the University of Wuhan\, Wuhan\,
  China\, in 1988\, the M.Sc. degree in statistics from the University of Pa
 ris XI\, France\, in 1989\, and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control and m
 athematics from the ParisTech-Mines\, France\, in 1993\, under the directio
 n of Prof. Laurent Praly.\n\nCurrently\, he is a professor of electrical an
 d computer engineering at the Tandon School of Engineering at New York Univ
 ersity. He is known for fundamental contributions to nonlinear control theo
 ry and applications. In particular\, he is a key contributor to nonlinear s
 mall-gain theory. His main research interests include stability theory\, ro
 bust/adaptive/distributed nonlinear control\, adaptive dynamic programming 
 and their applications to information\, mechanical and biological systems.\
 n\nProf. Jiang is a Fellow of IEEE\, IFAC and CAA. and is among the Clariva
 te Analytics Highly Cited Researchers.
