Overview

This book presents some facts and methods of Mathematical Control Theory treated from the geometric viewpoint. It is devoted to finite-dimensional deterministic control systems governed by smooth ordinary differential equations. The problems of controllability, state and feedback equivalence, and optimal control are studied. Some of the topics treated by the authors are covered in monographic or textbook literature for the first time while others are presented in a more general and flexible setting than elsewhere. Although being fundamentally written for mathematicians, the authors make an attempt to reach both the practitioner and the theoretician by blending the theory with applications. They maintain a good balance between the mathematical integrity of the text and the conceptual simplicity that might be required by engineers. It can be used as a text for graduate courses and will become most valuable as a reference work for graduate students and researchers.

Aus den Rezensionen: Der Band ist aus Graduiertenkursen an der International School for Advanced Studies in Triest entstanden ! Mathematisch werden gute Kenntnisse der Analysis, der linearen Algebra und der Funktionalanalysis vorausgesetzt. ! Bekannte und neue Beispiele ! illustrieren hier die Fulle an Aussagen in sehr anschaulicher Weise. Insgesamt ist so ein Band entstanden, der Mathematikern und mathematisch interessierten Anwendern wertvolle Anregungen bei der Auseinandersetzung mit gesteuerten bzw. geregelten nichtlinearen Systemen und deren Optimierung bietet.
