"The applications of the theory of Optimal Control of distributed parameters is an extremely wide field and, although a large number of questions remain open, the whole subject continues to expand very rapidly. The author does not attempt to cover the field but does discuss a number of the more interesting areas of application."

"This book gives a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality for finite-dimensional, deterministic, optimal control problems. The emphasis is on the geometric aspects of the theory and on illustrating how these methods can be used to solve optimal control problems. It provides tools and techniques that go well beyond standard procedures and can be used to obtain a full understanding of the global structure of solutions for the underlying problem. The text includes a large number and variety of fully worked out examples that range from the classical problem of minimum surfaces of revolution to cancer treatment for novel therapy approaches. All these examples, in one way or the other, illustrate the power of geometric techniques and methods. "

"Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) have recently emerged as useful tools for solving a number of control problems. This book provides an up-to-date account of the LMI method and covers topics such as recent LMI algorithms, analysis and synthesis issues, nonconvex problems, and applications. It also emphasizes applications of the method to areas other than control.The basic idea of the LMI method in control is to approximate a given control problem via an optimization problem with linear objective and so-called LMI constraints. The LMI method leads to an efficient numerical solution and is particularly suited to problems with uncertain data and multiple (possibly conflicting) specifications.Since the early 1990s, with the development of interior-point methods for solving LMI problems, the LMI approach has gained increased interest. One advantage of this technique is its ability to treat large classes of control problems via efficient numerical tools. This approach is widely applicable, not only in control but also in other areas where uncertainty arises. LMI techniques provide a common language for many engineering problems. Notions now popular in control, such as uncertainty and robustness, are being used in other areas through the use of LMIs. This technique is particularly attractive for industrial applications. It is well suited for the development of CAD tools that help engineers solve analysis and synthesis problems."

"This volume is dedicated to Bill Helton on the occasion of his sixty fifth birthday. It contains biographical material, a list of Bill's publications, a detailed survey of Bill's contributions to operator theory, optimization and control and 19 technical articles. Most of the technical articles are expository and should serve as useful introductions to many of the areas which Bill's highly original contributions have helped to shape over the last forty odd years. These include interpolation, Szegö limit theorems, Nehari problems, trace formulas, systems and control theory, convexity, matrix completion problems, linear matrix inequalities and optimization."

"Control Perspectives on Numerical Algorithms and Matrix Problems organizes the analysis and design of iterative numerical methods from a control perspective. The authors discuss a variety of applications, including iterative methods for linear and nonlinear systems of equations, neural networks for linear and quadratic programming problems, support vector machines, integration and shooting methods for ordinary differential equations, matrix preconditioning, matrix stability, and polynomial zero finding."
