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.
