Control of Nonlinear and Hybrid Process Systems

From the reviews: "The monograph ... presents a fundamental exposition and insight into the nature of nonlinear and hybrid control methods for dynamic systems with uncertainty, constraints, and time delays. ... It is an excellent up-to-date authoritative reference covering original results presented in a rigorous, unified framework with numerous practical examples. The monograph is intended for researchers, graduate students and process control engineers working in the areas of control engineering and applied mathematics interested in nonlinear and hybrid control systems as well as process control applications."
