Stability Domains is an up-to-date account of stability theory with particular emphasis on stability domains. Beyond the fundamental basis of the theory of dynamical systems, it includes recent developments in the classical Lyapunov stability concept, practical stabiliy properties, and a new Lyapunov methodology for nonlinear systems. It also introduces classical Lyapunov and practical stability theory for time-invariant nonlinear systems in general and for complex (interconnected, large scale) nonlinear dynamical systems in particular. This is a complete treatment of the theory of stability...

Presenting research papers contributed by experts in dynamics and control, Advances in Dynamics and Control explores new ideas, reviews the latest results, and discusses emerging directions in the rapidly growing field of aviation and aerospace. The authors discuss a wide range of topics in rotorcraft dynamics, stabilization of unstable aircraft, spacecraft, satellite dynamics and control, missile auto-pilot and guidance design, hybrid systems dynamics and control, and structural and acoustic modeling. The book is a valuable reference for graduate students and scientific workers in...
