Large-Scale Dynamic Systems: Stability and Structure (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) by Dragoslav D. Siljak (PDF)

Description

The unique interdisciplinary approach examines relationship between stability and structure of complex dynamic systems. Its application ranges from competitive-cooperative models in ecology and economics to control of spacecraft and power systems.The author, a Professor of Electrical Engineering at California’s Santa Clara University, defines large-scale systems as nonlinear and time-varying interaction of dynamic subsystems. Stability of the overall system is determined from stability properties of the subsystems and the nature of their interconnections. The concept of decentralized control and estimation is introduced for efficient stabilization and optimization of complex systems using local subsystem feedback and vector Liapunov methods. Decentrally stabilized large systems are robust to uncertainty in the interconnection structure and environmental fluctuations. Appropriate for graduate students studying multi-agent systems in engineering, ecology, economics, and sustainability of complex systems; this volume is also a valuable resource for engineers working in control of spacecraft, large power networks, and networked multi-robot systems.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a very interesting and intellectually stimulating book on stability of dynamics systems and related topics (control, etc). Published for the first time in 1978, the book is probably dated, but contains a wealth of concepts and mathematical developments that make it a nice first read on the subject. The topics are probably mostly related to engineering practice, but the author is careful in keeping the scope interdisciplinary and general enough to be useful in other fields. The price is more than fair for the amount of substance offered, so it is definitely worth a shot for those interested.
