Co-Editors: C. Christov, M. Cloud, F. Pichler & W. B. Zimmerman
About the Series
Rapid developments in system dynamics and control, areas related to many other
topics in applied mathematics, call prehensive presentations of current
topics. This series contains textbooks, monographs, treatises, conference proceed•
ings and a collection of anized research or pedagogical articles
addressing dynamical systems and control.
The material is ideal for a general scientific and engineering readership, and is
also mathematically precise enough to be a useful reference for research specialists
in mechanics and control, nonlinear dynamics, and in applied mathematics and
physics.
