Publisher's Synopsis
This work provides coverage of the analytical foundations of various aspects of nonlinear systems, including solutions, approximate analysis methods and stability theory from both the Lyapunov and the input-output viewpoints.;The book presents the mathematical approach to the study of nonlinear systems; includes coverage of differential geometric methods for nonlinear systems (including recent research findings); covers nonlinear reachability and feedback linearization and both discrete-time and continuous-time systems; and incorporates real examples with applications in robotics, adaptive control and other fields to illustrate the theorums.
