About this book

This Festschrift contains a collection of articles by friends, co-authors, colleagues, and former Ph.D. students of Keith Glover, Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Professor Glover's scientific work spans a wide variety of topics, the main themes being system identification, model reduction and approximation, robust controller synthesis, and control of aircraft and engines. The articles in this volume are a tribute to Professor Glover's seminal work in these areas.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book is Volume 329 of the series, ‘Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences,’ meant as a tribute to Keith Glover (Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge). There are 21 chapters (papers) in this volume … . The papers, covering a wide range of topics in the field, are very theoretical and suitable for a specialist … . it is worth reading. It is highly recommended to all interested in Control and Information Theory." (Nora Vilchinska and Richard J. Peppin, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 13 (1), 2008)
