Developed from a lecture series delivered over four years at universities in France, Hungary, and the US, introduces an innovative yet elementary and efficient method for the exact controllability and stabilization of distributed systems. Addresses exact boundary controllability problems using the Hilbert uniqueness method, applies a method based on ideas of non-harmonic analysis, and applies a Liapunov type approach to certain integral inequalities.

Based on a series of lectures given over the past four years in France, Hungary and the US. The first part examines exact boundary controllability problems using the Hilbert Uniqueness Method. The latter half deals with stabilizability. Of special note: the multiplier method, applied systematically, is remarkably elementary and efficient.
