This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set-valued analysis, convex analysis, and nonsmooth analysis are relatively modern branches of mathematical analysis that have become increasingly relevant in current control theory and control engineering literature. This book serves as a broad introduction to analytical tools in these fields and to their applications in dynamical and control systems and is the first to cover these topics with this scope and at this level. Both continuous-time and discrete-time mutlivalued dynamics, modeled by differential and difference inclusions, are considered. Set-Valued, Convex, and Nonsmooth Analysis in Dynamics and Control: An Introduction is aimed at graduate students in control engineering and applied mathematics and researchers in control engineering who have no prior exposure to set-valued, convex, and nonsmooth analysis. The book will also be of interest to advanced undergraduate mathematics students and mathematicians with no prior exposure to the topic. The expected mathematical background is a course on nonlinear differential equations / dynamical systems and a course on real analysis. Knowledge of some control theory is helpful, but not essential.
