Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability By Edmond A. Jonckheere (Department of Electrical Engineering Systems, Department of Electrical Engineering Systems, University of Southern California, USA)

Summary

In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields -- algebraic topology and robust control -- are brought together. The book develops algebraic/differential topology from an application-oriented point of view. It is suitable for graduate students in engineering and/or applied mathematics, academic researchers and governmental laboratories.

Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability Summary

Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability by Edmond A. Jonckheere (Department of Electrical Engineering Systems, Department of Electrical Engineering Systems, University of Southern California, USA)

In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields - algebraic topology and robust control - are brought together. The book develops algebraic/differential topology proceeding from an easily motivated control engineering problem, showing the relevance of advanced topological concepts and reconstructing the fundamental concepts of algebraic/differential topology from an application-oriented point of view. It is suitable for graduate students in engineering and/or applied mathematics, and academic researchers.

Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability Reviews

"The opening sentence of the monograph reads as follows: 'In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields of intellectual endeavor--algebraic/differential topology and robust control--are brought together.' Indeed, there are probably just a few control engineers who are familiar with the modern concepts of algebraic and differential topology; others need strong motivation to learn these disciplines. The book under review attempts to convince experts in robustness analysis to do this and to provide the needed material to learn. . . . The book consists of 7 parts, which contain 26 chapters and 4 appendices. . . . [T]his book is a serious attempt to develop new approaches to robust stability. It will inspire research in control based on modern mathematics."--Mathematical Reviews "The opening sentence of the monograph reads as follows: 'In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields of intellectual endeavor--algebraic/differential topology and robust control--are brought together.'
