Introduction to Control Systems

  • Chapter
Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems

Part of the book series: Communications and Control Engineering ((CCE))

  • 1958 Accesses

Abstract

This introductory chapter begins with important classes of control systems that will be studied in greater details in subsequent chapters. Basic notions and preliminary results in mathematical system and control theories are presented. Practical examples arising from engineering, mathematical biology and economics are introduced and will be invoked in subsequent chapters.
