The Mathematics of Control Theory Based on the Proceedings of a Conference on Control Theory, Organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications, and Held at the University of Strathclyde in September 1988

This international conference brought together mathematicians from universities and industry to discuss the very latest advances in mathematical control and the control of algorithms for improving the performance and efficiency of their control schemes. A wide range of issues of currentinterest to theoreticians and practitioners are covered, including: algebraic systems theory, nonlinear control systems, adaptive control, robustness issues, infinite dimensional systems, applications studies, and connections to mathematical aspects of information theory and data fusion.This text will be of value to all readers with an interest in developing and applying recent concepts and techniques in the area.
