After motivating examples, this monograph gives substantial new results on the analysis and control of linear repetitive processes. These include further applications of the abstract model based stability theory which, in particular, shows the critical importance to the dynamics developed of the structure of the initial conditions at the start of each new pass, the development of stability tests and performance bounds in terms of so-called 1D and 2D Lyapunov equations. It presents the development of a major bank of results on the structure and design of control laws, including the case when there is uncertainty in the process model description, together with numerically reliable computational algorithms. Finally, the application of some of these results in the area of iterative learning control is treated --- including experimental results from a chain conveyor system and a gantry robot system.

Dr Freeman and Professor Rogers are control engineers who have undertaken ground breaking research for iterative learning control from theory through to experimental benchmarking and comparative studies in the engineering domain. Professor Burridge and Dr Hughes are health professionals in the general area of rehabilitation and Dr Meadmore is a psychologist with interests in human movement and attention. Together they have worked to develop the idea of iLC in stroke rehabilitation from 'blue skies' ideas right through to clinical trials.
