This text on control and dynamic systems is aimed at electrical and electronics engineers. Topics covered include robust stabilization of non-linear systems via linear state feedback, and robust stability in systems described by rational functions. Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science provides a compact and comprehensive introduction to modern ecosystem science. This book covers major concepts of ecosystem science, biogeochemistry, and energetics. It addresses, contrasts, and compares both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It combines general lessons, concepts, frameworks, and challenges in highly accessible synthesis chapters. It presents firsthand case studies, written by leaders in the field, offering personal insights into how adopting an ecosystem approach led to innovations, new understanding, management changes, and policy solutions. This book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who have had a general biology course, but not further training in ecosystems as well as researchers and professionals in ecology and environmental sciences.

This volume presents a comprehensive treatment of robust system techniques in nonlinear, linear, and multilinear interval systems. It also covers techniques for dealing with system disturbances, system modeling approximations, and parameter uncertainties. This volume ends by reviewing robustness techniques for systems with structured state space uncertainty. This volume will be of great use as a reference source for mechanical and electrical engineers. Annotation See preceding entry for v.50. Nine contributions discuss topics that include: robust stabilization of nonlinear systems via linear state feedback; linear and multilinear interval systems; systems described by rational functions; systems with unknown disturbances; closed-loop transfer recovery; slowly time- varying systems; structured state space uncertainty.

Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Ecosystem science has developed into a major part of contemporary ecology, and it is now applied to diagnose and solve a wide range of important environmental problems. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to modern ecosystem science. It covers major concepts of ecosystem science, biogeochemistry, and energetics. This text on control and dynamic systems is aimed at electrical and electronics engineers. Topics covered include trade-offs among conflicting objectives in robust control design, and system observer techniques in robust control systems design synthesis. Multirate sampled data systems were first introduced in the 1950's by the pioneering works of Kranc [1], Jury [2]-[3], Kalman et al. [4], Sklansky et al. [5].
