Robust Control Design
Wiley 2007; US$ 150.00Comprehensive and accessible guide to the three main approaches to robust control design and its applications Optimal control is a mathematical field that is concerned with control policies that can be deduced using optimization algorithms. The optimal control approach to robust control design differs from conventional direct approaches to robust... more...
Advances in Robot Control
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99Surveys three decades of modern robot control theory and describes how the work of Suguru Arimoto shaped and influenced its development. This volume provides a reference for graduate students and researchers, as well as for mathematicians, engineers and scientists whose work involves concepts and the language of robot control theory. more...
Plant Systems Biology
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Systems biology represents the integration and application of various technologies that share a common goal of measuring globally the properties of a specific biological sample. These combined data describe and monitor the complex networks that exist within each cell, tissue and organism, and can be used to generate predictive models of the behavior... more...
Scale-Free Networks
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 124.99Many different systems both in nature and in technology can be described by means of networks of interconnected components. Despite their different aspects, all of them share similar mathematical properties. In this book we explain how to recognize these features and why these different systems develop this common structure. - ;A variety of different... more...
Homogeneous Polynomial Forms for Robustness Analysis of Uncertain Systems
Springer 2009; US$ 129.00This book presents a number of techniques for robustness analysis of uncertain systems. The theoretical basis for their development is derived from the application of convex optimization tools to problems involving positivity of homogeneous polynomial forms. Usually, stability and performance analysis of dynamic systems affected by structured uncertainties,... more...
