This monograph provides a thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values that remain unchanged under changes of the parameter. The authors consider the theory as well the practical treatment of those problems, both in finite-dimensional as well as in infinite-dimensional spaces. Various applications are considered, e. g., variational calculus, control theory and bifurcations theory. Thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values. Includes many applications, e. g., variational calculus, control theory and bifurcations theory. Intended for specialists in the field of nonlinear analysis and its applications as well as for students specializing in these subjects.

This book is written for the wide circle of readers who take an interest in concepts of basic sciences, specifically cybernetics, automation and control. It aims to provide a new technique for the solution of a range of automatic control problems using n ew types of feedback loops. Simple examples are used to illustrate the basic problems, the important aspects of the theory of automatic control and the difficulties that have to be faced when considering the automation of actual objects. Control of Indefinite Nonlinear Dynamic Systems is the first book to set out an effective regular procedure for the synthesis of robust feedback loops. This signifies an advancement in the area of general feedback which deal with problems of robust contro l under conditions of uncertainty.
