Mathematical Control Theory: An Introduction [Paperback]

Mathematical Control Theory: An Introduction presents, in a mathematically precise manner, a unified introduction to deterministic control theory. In addition to classical concepts and ideas, the author covers the stabilization of nonlinear systems using topological methods, realization theory for nonlinear systems, impulsive control and positive systems, the control of rigid bodies, the stabilization of infinite dimensional systems, and the solution of minimum energy problems.

Covers a remarkable number of topics....The book presents a large amount of material very well, and its use is highly recommended. --Bulletin of the AMS

In a mathematically precise manner, this book presents a unified introduction to deterministic control theory. It includes material on the realization of both linear and nonlinear systems, impulsive control, and positive linear systems.

This book is designed as a graduate text on the mathematical theory of deterministic control. It covers a remarkable number of topics... The book includes material on the realization of both linear and nonlinear systems, impulsive control, and positive linear systemssubjects not usually covered in an 'introductory' book... To get so much material in such a short space, the pace of the presentation is brisk. However, the exposition is excellent, and the book is a joy to read. A novel one-semester course covering both linear and nonlinear systems could be given... The book is an excellent one for introducing a mathematician to control theory. The book presents a large amount of material very well, and its use is highly recommended.    Bulletin of the AMS
