        摘要：
        Time-delay appears naturally in many control systems. It is frequently a source of instability although, in some systems, it may have a stabilizing effect. A time-delay approach to sampled-data control, which models the closed-loop system as continuous-time with delayed input/output, has become popular in the networked control systems (where the plant and the controller exchange data via communication network). Many important plants (e.g. flexible manipulators and heat transfer processes) are governed by PDEs and are described by uncertain nonlinear models. In this talk Lyapunov-based methods for time-delay and distributed parameter systems leading to finite-dimensional Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) will be presented. The LMI approach provides an effective and simple tool for robust control of uncertain infinite-dimensional systems.

        Emilia Fridman received the M.Sc. degree from Kuibyshev  State University, USSR, in 1981 and the Ph.D. degree from Voronezh State University, USSR, in 1986, all in mathematics. From 1986 to 1992 she was an Assistant and Associate Professor in  the Department of Mathematics at Kuibyshev Institute of Railway Engineers, USSR. Since 1993 she has been at Tel Aviv University, where she is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering-Systems. She has held visiting positions at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin (Germany), INRIA in Rocquencourt (France), Ecole Centrale de Lille (France), Valenciennes University (France), Leicester University (UK),  Kent University (UK), CINVESTAV (Mexico), Zhejiang University (China), St. Petersburg IPM (Russia), Melbourne University (Australia), Supelec (France), KTH (Sweden). 
        Her research interests include time-delay systems, networked control systems, distributed parameter systems, robust control, singular perturbations and nonlinear control.  She has published more than 100  articles in international scientific journals. She is the author of the monograph introduction to Time-Delay Systems: Analysis and Control?(Birkhauser, 2014). In 2014 she was Nominated as a Highly Cited Researcher  by Thomson ISI. Currently she serves as Associate Editor in  Automatica and SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization.
