Produktbeschreibung

Structural Methods in the Study of Complex Systems helps the reader respond to the challenge of mastering complexity in systems and control. The book details the fundamental control problems arising from complex dynamical systems and shows how they can be tackled effectively by means of methods developed from graph theory, differential algebra and geometric approaches. These "structural methods" produce abstractions that fit a wide variety of applications by taking advantage of their intrinsic focus on the essential characteristics of dynamical systems, their geometric perspective and visual representation, and their algebraic formalization and ability to generate algorithmic frameworks to complement the theoretical treatment.

The original work and latest achievements of the contributors, expanding on material presented at a workshop organized to coincide with the 2018 European Control Conference will assist systems and control scientists interested in developing theoretical and computational tools to solve analysis and synthesis problems involving complex dynamical systems. The contributions provide a comprehensive picture of available results along with a stimulating view of possible directions for future investigations in the field. Emphasis is placed on methods with solid computational background and on specific engineering applications so that readers from both theoretical and practical backgrounds will find this collection of use.

Autorenporträt

Elena Zattoni received the Laurea degree cum laude in Electronics Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. in Systems Engineering in 1999 from the University of Bologna, Italy. Since 2001, she has been with the University of Bologna as an Assistant Professor. She qualified as an Associate Professor in 2014 and in 2017. She has been a Visiting Professor at Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Aalto University, University of Michigan, Institut de Recherche en Communications et Cybernétique de Nantes, and Brown University. Her research interests are focused on geometric and structural approaches to control and observation of dynamical systems, including hybrid systems, switched systems, and time-delay systems, with applications to the synthesis of enhanced-reliability control systems. She has authored about forty journal articles and more than one hundred between contributed chapters and conference papers. She serves as an Associate Editor of the IFAC journal "Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems". She is a member of the IFAC Technical Committee 2.2 "Linear Control Systems". She is a Senior Member of the IEEE and has served in the "Member Activity Board" of the IEEE Control Systems Society. She is the General Chair of the "15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis". She is a Member of the Scientific Board of "Collegio Superiore", the School of Excellence of the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna. Anna Maria Perdon received the Laurea in Mathematics from the University of Padua, Italy, in 1972. Since 2000, she has been Professor of Automation at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy.
