This authoritative treatment covers theory, optimal estimation and a range of practical applications. The first book on the subject, and written by leading researchers, this clear and rigorous work presents a comprehensive theory for both the stability boundary and the stability regions of a range of nonlinear dynamical systems including continuous, discrete, complex, two-time-scale and non-hyperbolic systems, illustrated with numerical examples. The authors also propose new concepts of quasi-stability region and of relevant stability regions and their complete characterisations. Optimal schemes for estimating stability regions of general nonlinear dynamical systems are also covered, and finally the authors describe and explain how the theory is applied in applications including direct methods for power system transient stability analysis, nonlinear optimisation for finding a set of high-quality optimal solutions, stabilisation of nonlinear systems, ecosystem dynamics, and immunisation problems.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This book offers a comprehensive exposition of the theory, estimation methods, and applications of stability regions and stability boundaries for nonlinear dynamical systems. ... All the proofs are given in a rigorous manner and various examples are presented for illustration. The book is written concisely and will provide very useful guidance for researchers and graduate students who are interested in dynamical systems and their applications.'
