The rapid development of computing, communications and sensing technology has been enabling new potential applications of control to dynamic networks, and creating new theoretical challenges for stability analysis and control design. This book presents a set of novel analysis and design tools to address these newly arising challenges. The book covers basic concepts, overviews recent developments in nonlinear control, and develops new tools for specific problems of nonlinear systems under the impact of network behaviors.
