E-raamat: Stabilization Problems with Constraints: Analysis and Computational Aspects [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

This book represents the results of the authors' past ten years' work and research on stabilization problems with constraints and is written for mathematicians, computational mathematicians, practicing engineers and graduate students. It presents and demonstrates stabilizer design techniques that can be used to solve stabilization problems with constraints. The main emphasis of this book is on the methods of stabilization, rather than optimization and stability theory.

Presents mathematicians, computational mathematicians, practicing engineers, and graduate students with stabilizer design techniques that can be used to solve stabilization problems with constraints. Smirnov (mathematics, U. of +vora, Portugal) and Bushenkov (computing, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia) first present background material on convex analysis, differential equations, computational methods of convex analysis, and numerical optimization techniques. The second part is devoted to the behavior of control systems, with examples from mechanics used to illustrate the theory. The last section addresses non-local stabilization problems, including a study of the global stabilization problem. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
