This book focuses on methods that relate, in one form or another, to the "small-gain theorem". It is aimed at readers who are interested in learning methods for the design of feedback laws for linear and nonlinear multivariable systems...

The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun­ damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach. The book is intended as a graduate text...

The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained and coordinated de­ scription of several design methods for nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the problem of achieving stability, globally or on arbitrarily large...
