Contains papers from a summer 1997 meeting on recent developments and important open problems in geometric control theory. Topics include linear control systems in Lie groups and controllability, real analytic geometry and local observability, singular extremals of order 3 and chattering, infinite time horizon stochastic control problems in hyperbolic three space, and Monge-Ampere equations.

This book presents methods to study the controllability and the stabilization of nonlinear control systems in finite and infinite dimensions. The emphasis is put on specific phenomena due to nonlinearities. In particular, many examples are given where nonlinearities turn out to be essential to get controllability or stabilization. Various methods are presented to study the controllability or to construct stabilizing feedback laws. The power of these methods is illustrated by numerous examples coming from such areas as celestial mechanics, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. The book is addressed to graduate students in mathematics or control theory, and to mathematicians or engineers with an interest in nonlinear control systems governed by ordinary or partial differential equations.
The conference "Analysis of Controlled Dynamical Systems" was held in July 1990 at the University of LYON FRANCE. About hundred participants attended this conference which lasted four days : There were 50 speakers from departments of Engineering and Mathematics in east and west Europe, USA and USSR. The general subject of the conference was system theory. The main topics were optimal control, structure and control of nonlinear systems, stabilization and observers, differential algebra and systems theory, nonlinear aspects of Hoc theory, rigid and flexible mechanical systems, nonlinear analysis of signals. We are indebted to the scientific committee John BAILLIEUL, Michel FLIESS, Bronislaw JA...
This textbook provides a thorough overview of bifurcation theory. Assuming some familiarity with differential equations and dynamical systems, it is suitable for use on advanced undergraduate and graduate level and can, in particular, be used for a graduate course on bifurcation theory. The book combines a solid theoretical basis with a detailed description of classical bifurcations. It is organized in chapters on local, nonlocal, and global bifurcations; a number of appendices develop the toolbox for the study of bifurcations. The discussed local bifurcations include saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations, as well as the more advanced Bogdanov-Takens and Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. The book als...
Complete account of a new classification of connected Lie groups in two classes, including open problems to motivate further study.
The aim of the series is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics.
