Switched and Impulsive Systems: Analysis, Design and Applications [Paperback]

In this volume the important concept of switched and impulsive control is discussed, with a wide field of applications in the analysis and control of complex systems. This monograph provides the reader with a comprehensive coverage of switched and impulsive systems, including new original work with various applications such as switched server systems, scalable video coding systems, chaotic based secure communication, or quality of service on the internet. Switched and Impulsive Systems can be used as a reference or a text for a course at graduate level.

From the reviews:

The book was clearly written with a control engineering audience in mind, and the level of mathematical rigor is adapted to that. & Additional advantages of the book lie in the uniformity of treatment of these contributiló
