“Each chapter is conceived as an independent paper, with its own list of references and research aim. From the mathematical point of view, the results are summarized in theorems which are endowed with proofs. Additionally, simulation results are provided. The book is interesting mainly to theoretically oriented engineers, also to graduate students of the field.” (Vladimir Răsvan, zbMATH 1570.93003, 2026)
