"Illuminates the most important results of the Lyapunov and Lagrange stability theory for a general class of dynamical systems by developing topics in a metric space independantly of equations, inequalities, or inclusions. Applies the general theory to specific classes of equations. Presents new and expanded material on the stability analysis of hybrid dynamical systems and dynamical systems with discontinuous dynamics."

"Analyzes the behavior, design, and implementation of artificial recurrent neural networks. Offers methods of synthesis for associative memories. Evaluates the qualitative properties and limitations of neural networks. Contains practical applications for optimal system performance."
