Overview

"The book is a compendium of the state of knowledge about viability...Mathematically, the book should be accessible to anyone who has had basic graduate courses in modern analysis and functional analysis…The concepts are defined and many proofs of the requisite results are reproduced here, making the present book essentially self-contained." —Bulletin of the AMS

"Because of the wide scope, the book is an ideal reference for people encountering problems related to viability theory in their research…It gives a very thorough mathematical presentation. Very useful for anybody confronted with viability constraints." —Mededelingen van het Wiskundig Genootschap

The main purpose of viability theory is to explain the viable evolution of systems by revealing the concealed feedbacks which allow the system to be regulated and provide selection mechanisms for implementing them. The theory allows researchers in artificial intelligence, economics, game theory, theoretical biology, population genetics, ethology, cognitive sciences, etc., to go beyond deterministic models by studying systems in a dynamical or evolutionary perspective in an uncertain environment.
