Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biologi cal sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the classical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the establishment of the series Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and rein force the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose of this textbook series is to meet the current and future needs of these advances and to encourage the teaching of new courses. TAM will publish textbooks suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and will complement the Applied Mathematics Sci ences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced textbooks and research-level monographs. v Preface to the Second Edition The most significant differences between this edition and the first are as follows: • Additional chapters and sections have been written, dealing with: nonlinear controllability via Lie-algebraic methods, variational and numerical approaches to nonlinear control, including a brief introduction to the Calculus of Variations and the Minimum Principle, - time-optimal control of linear systems, feedback linearization (single-input case), nonlinear optimal feedback, controllability of recurrent nets, and controllability of linear systems with bounded controls.

From the reviews
"This book will be very useful for mathematics and engineering students interested in a modern and rigorous systems course, as well as for the experts in control theory and applications."

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This textbook, based on courses taught at Rutgers University, introduces the core concepts and results of Control and System Theory in a self-contained and elementary fashion. Unique in its emphasis on foundational aspects, it is intended to be used in a rigorous, proof-oriented course to an audience consisting of advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. In devel- oping the necessary techniques from scratch, the only background assumed is basic mathematics. An introductory chapter describes the main contents of the book in an intuitive and informal manner and grives the reader a valuable perspective of modern control theory. While linear systems are the focus of much of the presentation, most definitions and many results are given in a far more general framework. And though mostly elementary, the text includes illustrations of the applications in control of techniques from Lie groups, nonlinear analysis, commutative algebra, and other areas of 'pure' mathematics. 552 pp. Englisch.
