Algebraic and Differential Topology of Robust Stability 1st Edition by Edmond A. Jonckheere (PDF)

Description

In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields — algebraic topology and robust control — are brought together. The book develops algebraic/differential topology from an application-oriented point of view. The book takes the reader on a path starting from a well-motivated robust stability problem, showing the relevance of the simplicial approximation theorem and how it can be efficiently implemented using computational geometry. The simplicial approximation theorem serves as a primer to more serious topological issues such as the obstruction to extending the Nyquist map, K-theory of robust stabilization, and eventually the differential topology of the Nyquist map, culminating in the explanation of the lack of continuity of the stability margin relative to rounding errors. The book is suitable for graduate students in engineering and/or applied mathematics, academic researchers and governmental laboratories.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “The opening sentence of the monograph reads as follows: ‘In this book, two seemingly unrelated fields of intellectual endeavor–algebraic/differential topology and robust control–are brought together.’ Indeed, there are probably just a few control engineers who are familiar with the modern concepts of algebraic and differential topology; others need strong motivation to learn these disciplines. The book under review attempts to convince experts in robustness analysis to do this and to provide the needed material to learn. . . . The book consists of 7 parts, which contain 26 chapters and 4 appendices. . . . [T]his book is a serious attempt to develop new approaches to robust stability. It will inspire research in control based on modern mathematics.”–Mathematical Reviews About the Author Edmond A. Jonckheere is at University of Southern California.
