"The present book is a research monograph. ... it is self-contained, and so the reader who takes the effort to study the book in detail, learns how to design robust controllers for a very general class of systems, such as those described by nonsmooth nonlinear models and those described by partial differential equations." (Hans Zwart, zbMATH 1328.93005, 2016) "This monograph addresses the H control problem for a wide class of systems described by 'finite-/infinite-dimensional, linear/nonlinear, time-invariant/-varying, without/with delay' equations. ... The proposed method allows one to develop powerful algorithms for the H design of nonsmooth systems." (Hideki Sano, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2015)
