Titolo

An explicatory catechism: or, an explanation of the assemblies shorter catechism [[electronic resource] ] : Wherein all the answers in the assemblies catechism are taken abroad in under-questions and answers, the truths explained, and proved by reason and scripture; several cases of conscience resolved; some chief controversies in religion stated, with arguments against divers errors: useful to be read in private families after examination in the catechism it self, for the more clear and thtough understanding of what is therein learned. By Thomas Vincent, sometime minister of Maudline Milk-street in London

Sommario/riassunto

The lectures gathered in this volume present some of the different aspects of Mathematical Control Theory. Adopting the point of view of Geometric Control Theory and of Nonlinear Control Theory, the lectures focus on some aspects of the Optimization and Control of nonlinear, not necessarily smooth, dynamical systems. Specifically, three of the five lectures discuss respectively: logic-based switching control, sliding mode control and the input to the state stability paradigm for the control and stability of nonlinear systems. The remaining two lectures are devoted to Optimal Control: one investigates the connections between Optimal Control Theory, Dynamical Systems and Differential Geometry, while the second presents a very general version, in a non-smooth context, of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. The arguments



of the whole volume are self-contained and are directed to everyone working in Control Theory. They offer a sound presentation of the methods employed in the control and optimization of nonlinear dynamical systems.
