The 11th International Workshop on Dynamics and Control brought together scientists and engineers from diverse fields and gave them a venue to develop a greater understanding of this discipline and how it relates to many areas in science, engineering, economics, and biology. The event gave researchers an opportunity to investigate ideas and techniques from outside their own fields of expertise, enabling a cross-pollination of dynamics and control perspectives. Now there is a book that documents the major presentations of the workshop, providing a foundation for further research.
The range and diversity of papers in Dynamical Systems and Control demonstrate the remarkable reach of the subject. All of these contributed papers shed light on a multiplicity of physical, biological, and economic phenomena through lines of reasoning that originate and grow from this discipline.
The editors divide the book into three parts. The first covers fundamental advances in dynamics, dynamical systems, and control. These papers represent ideas that can be applied to several areas of interest. The second part deals with new and innovative techniques and their application to a variety of interesting problems, from the control of cars and robots, to the dynamics of ships and suspension bridges, and the determination of optimal spacecraft trajectories. The third section relates to social, economic, and biological issues. It reveals the wealth of understanding that can be obtained through a dynamics and control approach to issues such as epidemics, economic games, neo-cortical synchronization, and human posture control.
This book contains selected papers from the 11th International Workshop on Dynamics and Control, held in Rio de Janeiro, October 2000. Papers deal with fundamental advances in dynamics, dynamical systems, and control, and new techniques and their applications in areas such as control of cars and robots, dynamics of ships and suspension bridges, and the determination of optimal spacecraft trajectories. A section on social, economic, and biological issues shows how dynamics and control approaches can be used when dealing with issues such as drug consumption, economic games, epidemics, neo-cortical synchronization, and human posture control.

Dynamical Systems and Control documents the major presentations of the 11th International Workshop on Dynamics and Control, providing a foundation for further research. Contributed papers shed light on physical, biological, and economic phenomena through lines of reasoning that originate from this discipline. This book covers fundamental advances in dynamics, dynamical systems, and control; examines new and innovative techniques and their applications; and relates dynamics and control to social, economic, and biological issues. Applications explored include the control of cars and robots, the dynamics of ships and suspension bridges, and the determination of optimal spacecraft trajectories.
