Drawing from fundamental principles of dynamical systems theory and dynamical thermodynamics, the authors develop a continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid dynamical system and control framework for linear and nonlinear large-scale network systems. The proposed framework extends the concepts of energy, entropy, and temperature to undirected and directed information networks. Continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid thermodynamic principles are used to design distributed control protocol algorithms for static and dynamic networked systems in the face of system uncertainty, exogenous disturbances, imperfect system network communication, and time delays.  Network Information Systems: A Dynamical Systems Approach is written for applied mathematicians, dynamical systems theorists, control theorists, and engineers. Researchers and graduate students in a variety of fields who seek a fundamental understanding of the rich behavior of controlled large-scale network systems will also find this book useful.  This book can be used for a first course on control design of large-scale network systems, such as control protocols for network systems, network information systems, a dynamical systems approach to network systems, and network thermodynamic systems. The prerequisites are a first course in nonlinear systems theory and a first course in advanced (multivariable) calculus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49849442500881,"sku":"CIN1611977533G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1611977533.jpg?v=1766656834"},{"product_id":"dynamical-systems-theory-of-thermodynamics-book-wassim-m-haddad-9780691190143","title":"A Dynamical Systems Theory of Thermodynamics","description":"A brand-new conceptual look at dynamical thermodynamics   This book merges the two universalisms of thermodynamics and dynamical systems theory in a single compendium, with the latter providing an ideal language for the former, to develop a new and unique framework for dynamical thermodynamics. In particular, the book uses system-theoretic ideas to bring coherence, clarity, and precision to an important and poorly understood classical area of science. The dynamical systems formalism captures all of the key aspects of thermodynamics, including its fundamental laws, while providing a mathematically rigorous formulation for thermodynamical systems out of equilibrium by unifying the theory of mechanics with that of classical thermodynamics.  This book includes topics on nonequilibrium irreversible thermodynamics, Boltzmann thermodynamics, mass-action kinetics and chemical reactions, finite-time thermodynamics, thermodynamic critical phenomena with continuous and discontinuous phase transitions, information theory, continuum and stochastic thermodynamics, and relativistic thermodynamics.  A Dynamical Systems Theory of Thermodynamics develops a postmodern theory of thermodynamics as part of mathematical dynamical systems theory. The book establishes a clear nexus between thermodynamic irreversibility, the second law of thermodynamics, and the arrow of time to further unify discreteness and continuity, indeterminism and determinism, and quantum mechanics and general relativity in the pursuit of understanding the most fundamental property of the universe—the entropic arrow of time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51005592862993,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005595418897,"sku":"NIN9780691190143","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691190143.jpg?v=1751041628"},{"product_id":"nonlinear-dynamical-systems-and-control-book-wassim-m-haddad-9780691133294","title":"Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Control","description":"Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Control presents and develops an extensive treatment of stability analysis and control design of nonlinear dynamical systems, with an emphasis on Lyapunov-based methods. Dynamical system theory lies at the heart of mathematical sciences and engineering. The application of dynamical systems has crossed interdisciplinary boundaries from chemistry to biochemistry to chemical kinetics, from medicine to biology to population genetics, from economics to sociology to psychology, and from physics to mechanics to engineering. The increasingly complex nature of engineering systems requiring feedback control to obtain a desired system behavior also gives rise to dynamical systems. Wassim Haddad and VijaySekhar Chellaboina provide an exhaustive treatment of nonlinear systems theory and control using the highest standards of exposition and rigor. This graduate-level textbook goes well beyond standard treatments by developing Lyapunov stability theory, partial stability, boundedness, input-to-state stability, input-output stability, finite-time stability, semistability, stability of sets and periodic orbits, and stability theorems via vector Lyapunov functions. A complete and thorough treatment of dissipativity theory, absolute stability theory, stability of feedback systems, optimal control, disturbance rejection control, and robust control for nonlinear dynamical systems is also given. This book is an indispensable resource for applied mathematicians, dynamical systems theorists, control theorists, and engineers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51005672915217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005675995409,"sku":"NIN9780691133294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691133298.jpg?v=1750977138"},{"product_id":"stability-and-control-of-large-scale-dynamical-systems-book-wassim-m-haddad-9780691153469","title":"Stability and Control of Large-Scale Dynamical Systems","description":"Modern complex large-scale dynamical systems exist in virtually every aspect of science and engineering, and are associated with a wide variety of physical, technological, environmental, and social phenomena, including aerospace, power, communications, and network systems, to name just a few. This book develops a general stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems, and presents the most complete treatment on vector Lyapunov function methods, vector dissipativity theory, and decentralized control architectures. Large-scale dynamical systems are strongly interconnected and consist of interacting subsystems exchanging matter, energy, or information with the environment. The sheer size, or dimensionality, of these systems necessitates decentralized analysis and control system synthesis methods for their analysis and design. Written in a theorem-proof format with examples to illustrate new concepts, this book addresses continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid large-scale systems. It develops finite-time stability and finite-time decentralized stabilization, thermodynamic modeling, maximum entropy control, and energy-based decentralized control. This book will interest applied mathematicians, dynamical systems theorists, control theorists, and engineers, and anyone seeking a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of large-scale interconnected dynamical systems and control.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53081715343633,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53081715474705,"sku":"NIN9780691153469","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780691153469.jpg?v=1769956372"},{"product_id":"thermodynamics-book-wassim-m-haddad-9780691123271","title":"Thermodynamics","description":"This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves deterministic large-scale dynamical system models that bridge the gap between classical and statistical thermodynamics. The authors' theory is motivated by the fact that a discipline as cardinal as thermodynamics--entrusted with some of the most perplexing secrets of our universe--demands far more than physical mathematics as its underpinning. Even though many great physicists, such as Archimedes, Newton, and Lagrange, have humbled us with their mathematically seamless eurekas over the centuries, this book suggests that a great many physicists and engineers who have developed the theory of thermodynamics seem to have forgotten that mathematics, when used rigorously, is the irrefutable pathway to truth. This book uses system theoretic ideas to bring coherence, clarity, and precision to an extremely important and poorly understood classical area of science.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53108513308945,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53108513538321,"sku":"NIN9780691123271","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780691123271.jpg?v=1770561095"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-wassim-m-haddad.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
