Overview
- A self-contained monograph focused on the area of set-theoretic methods for control, which has recently seen a resurgence of interest
- Several established and potentially new applications are presented
- Includes exercises, numerical examples, and case studies
- Numerical algorithms for the solution of the proposed problems are described in detail; some are available online in MATLAB and C++
- Provides a solid foundation of mathematical techniques and applications and also features avenues for further theoretical study
- Contains extensive references to the literature and supplies many recipes for solving significant control problems
- For a broad audience of graduate students, researchers, and pratitioners in applied mathematics and engineering
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications (SCFA)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book is an outstanding monograph of a recent research trend in control. It reflects the vast experience of the authors as well as their noticeable contributions to the development of this field...At the conceptual level, the book was meant as a self contained volume for readers with the usual background in systems and control. The text is very accessible (the style is attractive; the theoretical concepts and results are accompanied by relevant examples so as to facilitate the deep understanding of the discussed topics; both analytical and numerical approaches are presented; the final section of each chapter includes exercises). The book is highly recommended to PhD students and researchers working in control engineering or applied mathematics. The material can also be used for graduate courses in these areas." [Octavian Pastravanu, Zentralblatt MATH]
"This is an excellent book, full of new ideas and collecting a lot of diverse material related to set-theoretic methods. It can be recommended to a wide control community audience." (B. T. Polyak, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 f)
