Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems

From the reviews:

“The book is presented in a logical order and is self-contained. … Each chapter contains a section with bibliographical and historical notes … and each closes with a comprehensive list of references … . Overall, for a graduate student of systems and control this book will provide an in-depth course on a general theory of nonlinear control systems with many references to further literature and an indication of open research problems. As a reference text, this book will certainly also be useful to control researchers.” (Björn S. Rüffer, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 d)

“In this research monograph, the authors give an account of the results on stability and stabilizability which have been obtained over the last years. They do this for a large class of systems. Their class of systems include nonlinear ordinary differential equations, but also nonlinear difference equations, and nonlinear delay differential equations. … The book gives a clear account of the theory up to today.” (Hans Zwart, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1243, 2012)
