"Analytical System Dynamics: Modeling and Simulation" combines results from analytical mechanics and system dynamics to develop an approach to modeling constrained multidiscipline dynamic systems. This combination yields a modeling technique based on the energy method of Lagrange, which in turn, results in a set of differential-algebraic equations that are suitable for numerical integration. Using the modeling approach presented in this book enables one to model and simulate systems as diverse as a six-link, closed-loop mechanism or a transistor power amplifier.

After motivating examples, this monograph gives substantial new results on the analysis and control of linear repetitive processes. These include further applications of the abstract model based stability theory which, in particular, shows the critical importance to the dynamics developed of the structure of the initial conditions at the start of each new pass, the development of stability tests and performance bounds in terms of so-called 1D and 2D Lyapunov equations. It presents the development of a major bank of results on the structure and design of control laws, including the...

This is a collection of articles by friends, co-authors, colleagues, and students of Keith Glover, Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Professor Glover's work spans a variety of topics, including system identification, model reduction and approximation, robust controller synthesis, and control of aircraft and engines. The collection is a tribute to Professor Glover's seminal work in these areas.

Dieser Band beginnt mit den Grundbegriffen der Theorie thermodynamischer Systeme im Gleichgewicht, stellt alle wichtigen thermodynamischen Potentiale und ihre Zusammenhange uber Legendre-Transformation zusammen und diskutiert die Hauptsatze der Thermodynamik. Die Untersuchung von geometrischen Aspekten der Theorie fuhrt zu einem vertieften Verstandnis des zweiten Hauptsatzes und der damit verbundenen Begriffe. Die statistische Theorie der Warme klart den Begriff des Zustandes und erlaubt den direkten Vergleich von klassischen und Quantengasen. Es folgt eine Einfuhrung in die Beschreibung...

Networks can provide a useful model and graphic image useful for the description of a wide variety of web-like structures in the physical and man-made realms, e.g. protein networks, food webs and the Internet. The contributions gathered in the present volume provide both an introduction to, and an overview of, the multifaceted phenomenology of complex networks. Statistical Mechanics of Complex Networks also provides a state-of-the-art picture of current theoretical methods and approaches.

Explicit Stability Conditions for Continuous Systems deals with non-autonomous linear and nonlinear continuous finite dimensional systems. Explicit conditions for the asymptotic, absolute, input-to-state and orbital stabilities are discussed. This monograph provides new tools for specialists in control system theory and stability theory of ordinary differential equations, with a special emphasis on the Aizerman problem. A systematic exposition of the approach to stability analysis based on estimates for matrix-valued functions is suggested and various classes of systems...
