Description
This work gathers important and promising information results in subfields of nonlinear control theory, previously available in journals. It presents the state of the art of geometric methods, their applications optimal control, and feedback transformations. It aims to show how geometric control theory draws from other mathematical fields to create its own powerful tools.

"The volume's editors have made a concerted effort to elicit articles from the contributors that cover timely topics, from a broad perspective as opposed to focusing in specialized research problems of narrow interest. . ..this volume is an addendum to. . .monographs on nonlinear geometric control theory.
