Product Description: This book details the analysis of continuous- and discrete-time dynamical systems described by differential and difference equations respectively. Differential geometry provides the tools for this, such as first-integrals or orbital symmetries, together with normal forms of vector fields and of maps...read more

Product Description: This volume gathers together all the lectures presented at the 6th IEEE Mediterranean Conference. It focuses on the mathematical aspects in the theory and practice of control and systems, including stability and stabilizability, robust control, adaptive control, robotics and manufacturing; these topics are under intense investigation and development in the engineering and mathematics communities...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This volume provides doctorate students and professionals with basic and advanced material on modelling and control of complex mechanical systems, with particular emphasis on robotic manipulators.

Product Description: This text offers an account on the subject that spans both conventional and modern materials about discrete-event systems, material that, up to now, has been presented in the literature in different fields, such as the graph theory, the probability theory, the automata's theory, and the queueing theory...read more
