Overview
This work gathers important and promising information results in subfields of nonlinear control theory, previously available in journals. It presents the state of the art of geometric methods, their applications optimal control, and feedback transformations. It aims to show how geometric control theory draws from other mathematical fields to create its own powerful tools.Editorials
Mathematical Reviews
The volume's editors have made a concerted effort to elicit articles from the contributors that cover timely topics, from a broad perspective as opposed to focusing in specialized research problems of narrow interest....this volume is an addendum to...monographs on nonlinear geometric control theory.Booknews
Gathering important and promising results in the subfields of nonlinear control theory, the 12 contributions in this volume present current geometric methods, their applications in optimal control, and feedback transformations. Part of the volume is devoted to applications of geometry to optimal control and exhibits links between the Pontriagin Maximum Principle, symplectic geometry, and the geometry of reachable sets together with their singularities. The second theme concerns feedback transformations and covers such problems as feedback stabilization, feedback classification, and feedback invariants. For pure and applied mathematicians, analysts, and graduate-level students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
