Liapunov Functions and Stability in Control Theory

Review in amazon:

Super Book December 16, 2002 P, Princeton:

Bacciotti and Rosier have managed to present a nonformal, yet rigorous and well-organized introduction to nonlinear stabilization and controllability. They have definetly captured the most important research trends in the area and have managed to cover a wide range of topics with appropriate deepness. My only suggestion would be to add a list of symbols to the book and to discuss Chow's Theorem and the accessibility rank condition. Thanks for a great book!

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This book has been written by famous scientists in the areas of stability and control theories. It presents a modern and self-contained treatment of the Lyapunov method for stability analysis in the framework of mathematical nonlinear control theory. … In the 2nd edition of this successful book several new sections have been added and old sections have been improved. A lot of new examples, explanations and figures are added making this book accessible and well readable for engineers as well as mathematicians." (Alexander O. Ignatyev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1078, 2006)
