Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Control: A Lyapunov-Based Approach

"An excellent textbook. This is an up-to-date, comprehensive, and extremely well presented exposition of modern methods in nonlinear control systems. It contains every topic I would like to see in such a book. The writing is superb and the style is clear and lucid. This is a highly welcome addition to the literature."--Frank L. Lewis, University of Texas, Arlington

"A significant contribution. This book can be used as a textbook for engineering students and others, and it is useful to researchers because it contains up-to-date methods and information. As far as I know, there is no one book that covers all the material contained in this book."--V. Lakshmikantham, Florida Institute of Technology

The book is lucid and well written and contains numerous worked examples for specific applications to important classes of systems as well as numerous problems and suggestions for further study at the end of the main chapters. This book will be an excellent source of reference materials for graduate students of applied mathematics, control theorists and engineers studying the stability theory of dynamical systems and controls. It will also be a rich source of materials for self study by researchers and practitioners interested in systems theory of engineering, controls, computer science, chemistry, life sciences and economics.
