Book Description
(preliminary)
Brain Dynamics is an introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists from various backgrounds to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences.
The approach in this book is through pulsed-coupled neural networks, with at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models, which allow for the highly flexible modelling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. As a more advanced topic, pulse-averaged equations and their application to movement coordination are discussed. The book closes with a short analysis of models versus the real neurophysiological system. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and augmented by an extensive chapter that discusses the interplay between pattern recognition and synchronization. Further, to enhance the usefulness as textbook and for self-study, the detailed solutions of all XX exercises throughout the text have been added.
Book Description
This book develops a general analysis and synthesis framework for impulsive and hybrid dynamical systems. Such a framework is imperative for modern complex engineering systems that involve interacting continuous-time and discrete-time dynamics with multiple modes of operation that place stringent demands on controller design and require implementation of increasing complexity--whether advanced high-performance tactical fighter aircraft and space vehicles, variable-cycle gas turbine engines, or air and ground transportation systems.
Impulsive and Hybrid Dynamical Systems goes beyond similar treatments by developing invariant set stability theorems, partial stability, Lagrange stability, boundedness, ultimate boundedness, dissipativity theory, vector dissipativity theory, energy-based hybrid control, optimal control, disturbance rejection control, and robust control for nonlinear impulsive and hybrid dynamical systems. A major contribution to mathematical system theory and control system theory, this book is written from a system-theoretic point of view with the highest standards of exposition and rigor. It is intended for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners of engineering and applied mathematics as well as computer scientists, physicists, and other scientists who seek a fundamental understanding of the rich dynamical behavior of impulsive and hybrid dynamical systems.

Book Description
The control of complex systems is one of the most important aspects in dealing with systems exhibiting nonlinear behaviour or similar features that defy traditional control techniques. This specific subject is gradually becoming known as cybernetical physics, borrowing methods from both theoretical physics and control engineering. Emphasis of the book is on the examination of fundamental limits on energy transformation by means of control procedures in both conservative and dissipative systems. A survey of application in physics includes the control of synchronisation of coupled oscillators, pendulum chains, reactions in physical chemistry and of quantum systems such as the dissociation of diatomic molecules.
This book has been written having research from various backgrounds in physics, mathematics and engineering in mind and is thus also suitable as introduction to graduate students working on the understanding of a broad range of complex systems in the natural sciences.
Book Description
This volume is intended for researchers in engineering and applied mathematics. It can also be used as a textbook for graduate students dealing with non-linear systems and control theory. After a self-contained treatment of the differential-geometric prerequisites, the book deals with controllability and observability properties of nonlinear systems, as well as various ways to obtain input-output representations. Problems of transforming nonlinear systems into simpler forms are discussed, including the feedback linearization problem. The disturbance and input-output decoupling problem are treated in detail, as well as some aspects of feedback stabilization, and interconnection and inversion of nonlinear systems. Emphasis is put on fundamental notions as (controlled) invariant distributions and submanifolds, together with algorithms to compute the required feedbacks. Extensions of these methods to other synthesis problems are indicated in the exercises at the end of each chapter. Special attention is paid to mechanical nonlinear control systems, and finally the theory is extended to general continuous-time and discrete time systems. Numerous examples and exercises illustrate the main results of the book.

Book Description
This is a book about modelling, analysis and control of linear time- invariant systems. The book uses what is called the behavioral approach towards mathematical modelling. Thus a system is viewed as a dynamical relation between manifest and latent variables. The emphasis is on dynamical systems that are represented by systems of linear constant coefficients. In the first part of the book the structure of the set of trajectories that such dynamical systems generate is analyzed. Conditions are obtained for two systems of differential equations to be equivalent in the sense that they define the same behavior. It is further shown that the trajectories of such linear differential systems can be partitioned in free inputs and bound outputs. In addition the memory structure of the system is analyzed through state space models. The second part of the book is devoted to a number of important system properties, notably controllability, observability, and stability. An essential feature of using the behavioral approach is that it allows these and similar concepts to be introduced in a representation-free manner. In the third part control problems are considered, more specifically stabilization and pole placement questions. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in mathematics and engineering. It contains numerous exercises, including simulation problems, and examples, notably of mechanical systems and electrical circuits.

First Aid to those outside the EE community.......2006-12-02
The book starts off with an extremely useful modeling term: "Exclusion Law." This term describes a notion that any closed system of physical laws/equations (Newton's, etc.) state what's included (possible) and what's excluded (impossible) from its (a certain set of physical laws/equations) interpretation of reality.
Most of the concepts in this text will be nothing new to those who already have a bachelor of science in electrical engineering. Still, learning from the author's choice of words and his arrangement of materials will provide one with a very effective way of communicating modeling ideas to those outside the EE community or to those who are somehow academically juvenile (for example, speaking with someone who had to suffer a poor signals and systems instructor or with anyone who had to deal with a similar academic situation).
Here's a quote from page 12:
"Now it becomes necessary to consider two cases:"
From page 1:
"We view a mathematical model as an exlcusion law. A mathematical model expresses the OPINION that some things can happen, are possible, while others cannot, are declared impossible. Thus Kepler claims that planetary orbits that do not satisfy his three famous laws are impossible. In particular, he judges nonelliptical orbits as unphysical. ... Economic production functions tell us that certain amounts of raw materials, capital, and labor are needed in order to manufacture a finished product: it prohibits the creation of finished products unless the required resources are available."
And from page 8:
"Dynamical Systems.... The adjective dynamical refers to phenomena with a delayed reaction, phenomena with an aftereffect, with transients, oscillations, and, perhaps, an approach to equilibrium. ...a mathematical model in which the objects of interest are functions of time..."
Systems theory done right!.......2004-04-06
This is an excellent book on mathematical control theory. As opposed to the classical state-space approach, the behavioural theory gives a more fundamental and natural way of looking at physical systems. The book deals with the notions of controllability, observability, stability and feedback in a beautiful mathematical framework. A more appropriate title would be "Systems theory done right"!

Great synosis of hybrid systems.......2001-05-18
This book excellent for anyone interested in the complex and unique world of hybrid systems. Wolf Kohn is simply brilliant! Highly recommended. Many of the authors of this book are still pursuing careers in hybrid systems, most prominently with the Seattle-based company, Hynomics, which plans to go public soon.
Book Description
The goal of this book is to explore some of the connections between control theory and geometric mechanics; that is, control theory is linked with a geometric view of classical mechanics in both its Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations and in particular with the theory of mechanical systems subject to motion constraints. The synthesis of topics is appropriate as there is a particularly rich connection between mechanics and nonlinear control theory. The aim is to provide a unified treatment of nonlinear control theory and constrained mechanical systems that incorporates material that has not yet made its way into texts and monographs. This book is intended for graduate students who wish to learn this subject and researchers in the area who want to enhance their techniques.

Book Description
Deployable structures can vary their shape automatically from a compact, packaged configuration to an expanded, operational configuration. The first properly engineered deployable structures were used as stabilization booms on early spacecraft. Later on, more complex structures were devised for solar arrays, communication reflectors and telescopes. In other fields there have been a variety of developments, including retractable roofs for stadia, foldable components for cars, portable structures for temporary shelters and exhibition displays. Three main themes are discussed in this book: concepts, working principles, and mechanics of deployable structures, both in engineering and biology; in addition: theory of foldable bar structures and application to deployable tensegrieties; formulation of large-rotation analysis of deployable structures and finite-element simulation methods.
