The method of averaging and functional differential equations with delay.
The method of Lyapunov functionals for neutral-type linear difference-differential systems with almost-periodic coefficients.

Total stability in abstract functional differential equations with infinite delay.
Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour
Universal tracking control is investigated in the context of a class of -input, -output dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations. The class encompasses a wide variety of nonlinear and infinite-dimensional systems and contains – as a prototype subclass – all finite-dimensional linear single-input single-output minimum-phase systems with positive high-frequency gain. The control objective is to ensure that, for an arbitrary -valued reference signal of class (absolutely...
Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour
Universal tracking control is investigated in the context of a class S of M-input, M-output dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations. The class encompasses a wide variety of nonlinear and infinite-dimensional systems and contains – as a prototype subclass – all finite-dimensional linear single-input single-output minimum-phase systems with positive high-frequency gain. The control objective is to ensure that, for an arbitrary -valued reference signal r of class W1,∞ (absolutely...
