The presentation style is lucid and makes for fascinating reading and study. In this day and age, the mathermatical demonstrations and proofs are welcome, while the case studies show the practical relevance of the approach as laid out in this very welcome book. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control 51 (2006) 176 – 177 (Reviewer: Frank L. Lewis) This is an excellent book dealing with the important topic of constrained control and estimation. Constraints are present in all real systems and have been somewhat neglected by most of the existing control techniques with only a few exceptions such as MPC. Although the book cannot be classified as an MPC book, a significant part of the text is dedicated to receding horizon control and this work comlements and is a valuable addition to the list of existing MPC books. The book is self-contained, with an extensive list of references, well-structured, and covers a wide range of topics required for constrained control and estimation. It is presented with a sufficient level of detail and mathematical rigor to be used as a textbook for research students or as the basis of a self-study programme for practitioners in constrained control and estimation. International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control 17 (2007) 347 – 354 (Reviewer: Eduardo F. Camacho) This book is a study on … problems for linear finite-dimensional discrete-time systems.… References and an index are included at the end.… this book is worth acquiring for those involved in control system design, and it produces a valuable contribution to the area of constrained control systems.

Book SynopsisBased on the new 'guided-tour' concept that eliminates the start-up transient encountered in learning new programming languages, this beginner's introduction to MATLAB teaches a sufficient subset of the functionality and gives the reader practical experience on how to find more information. Recent developments in MATLAB to advance programming are described using realistic examples in order to prepare students for larger programming projects. In addition, a large number of exercises, tips, and solutions mean that the course can be followed with or without a computer. The development of MATLAB programming and its use in engineering courses makes this a valuable self-study guide for both engineering students and practicing engineers.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The book consists of three parts: an initiation in matlab, more advanced programming in matlab, and some elaborated applications. … The text gives a bottom-up learning-by-example approach. … Thus the reader is forced to sit at the computer and do experiments, which is in my opinion the best and fastest way to learn matlab. The excellent help tool of matlab should do the rest. … The command summaries in the appendices make it … a substitute for the matlab manuals."

Book SynopsisRecent developments in model-predictive control promise remarkable opportunities for designing multi-input, multi-output control systems and improving the control of single-input, single-output systems. This volume provides a definitive survey of the latest model-predictive control methods available to engineers and scientists today. The initial set of chapters present various methods for managing uncertainty in systems, including stochastic model-predictive control. With the advent of affordable and fast computation, control engineers now need to think about using “computationally intensive controls,” so the second part of this book addresses the solution of optimization problems in “real” time for model-predictive control. The theory and applications of control theory often influence each other, so the last section of Handbook of Model Predictive Control rounds out the book with representative applications to automobiles, healthcare, robotics, and finance. The chapters in this volume will be useful to working engineers, scientists, and mathematicians, as well as students and faculty interested in the progression of control theory. Future developments in MPC will no doubt build from concepts demonstrated in this book and anyone with an interest in MPC will find fruitful information and suggestions for additional reading.Trade Review“This handbook is designed for a wide audience. It is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of control systems and numerical optimization who want to understand the potential, challenges, and benefits of MPC and its applications. … This handbook enables the reader to gain a panoramic viewpoint of MPC theory and practice as well as provides a state-of-the-art overview of new and exciting areas of application at the forefront of MPC research.” (Gabriele Pannocchia, IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 40 (5), October, 2020)Table of ContentsTheory.- The Essentials of Model Predictive Control (MPC).- Dynamic Programming and MPC.- Set-valued and Lyapunov Methods for MPC.- Stochastic Model Predictive Control.- Moving Horizon Estimation.- Probing and Duality in Stochastic Model Predictive Control.- Economic Model Predictive Control: Some Design Tools and Analysis Techniques.- Nonlinear Predictive Control for Trajectory Tracking and Path Following: An Introduction and Perspective.- Hybrid Model Predictive Control.- Model Predictive Control of Polynomial Systems.- Distributed MPC for Large-Scale Systems.- Scalable MPC Design.- Computations.- Efficient Convex Optimization for Linear MPC.- Implicit Non-Convex Model Predictive Control.- Convexification and Real-Time Optimization for MPC with Aerospace Applications.- Explicit (Offline) Optimization for MPC.- Real-Time Implementation of Explicit Model Predictive Control.- Robust Optimization for MPC.- Scenario Optimization for MPC.- Nonlinear Programming Formulations for Nonlinear and Economic Model Predictive Control.- Applications.- Automotive Applications of Model Predictive Control.- Applications of MPC in the Area of Health Care.- Model Predictive Control for Power Electronics Applications.- Learning-based Fast Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Custom-made 3D Printed Ground and Aerial Robots.- Applications of MPC to Building HVAC Systems.- Toward Multi-Layered MPC for Complex Electric Energy Systems.- Applications of MPC to Finance.

Book SynopsisThis book discusses the introduction of isogeometric technology to the boundary element method (BEM) in order to establish an improved link between simulation and computer aided design (CAD) that does not require mesh generation. In the isogeometric BEM, non-uniform rational B-splines replace the Lagrange polynomials used in conventional BEM. This may seem a trivial exercise, but if implemented rigorously, it has profound implications for the programming, resulting in software that is extremely user friendly and efficient. The BEM is ideally suited for linking with CAD, as both rely on the definition of objects by boundary representation. The book shows how the isogeometric philosophy can be implemented and how its benefits can be maximised with a minimum of user effort. Using several examples, ranging from potential problems to elasticity, it demonstrates that the isogeometric approach results in a drastic reduction in the number of unknowns and an increase in the quality of the results. In some cases even exact solutions without refinement are possible. The book also presents a number of practical applications, demonstrating that the development is not only of academic interest. It then elegantly addresses heterogeneous and non-linear problems using isogeometric concepts, and tests them on several examples, including a severely non-linear problem in viscous flow. The book makes a significant contribution towards a seamless integration of CAD and simulation, which eliminates the need for tedious mesh generation and provides high-quality results with minimum user intervention and computing.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- The boundary integral equation.- Basis functions, B-splines.- Description of the geometry.- Getting geometry information from CAD programs.- Numerical treatment of integral equations.- Numerical integration.- Steady state potential problems.- Static linear solid mechanics.- Body force effects.- Treatment of inhomogeneities/inclusions.- Material non-linear behaviour.- Applications in geomechanics.- Viscous flow problems.- Time dependent problems.- Summary and outlook.- Appendix A: Fundamental solutions.

Book SynopsisThis graduate-level textbook elucidates low-risk and fail-safe systems in mathematical detail. It addresses, in particular, problems where mission-critical performance is paramount, such as in aircraft, missiles, nuclear reactors and weapons, submarines, and many other types of systems where “failure” can result in overwhelming loss of life and property. The book is divided into four parts: Fundamentals, Electronics, Software, and Dangerous Goods. The first part on Fundamentals addresses general concepts of system safety engineering that are applicable to any type of system. The second part, Electronics, addresses the detection and correction of electronic hazards. In particular, the Bent Pin Problem, Sneak Circuit Problem, and related electrical problems are discussed with mathematical precision. The third part on Software addresses predicting software failure rates as well as detecting and correcting deep software logical flaws (called defects). The fourth part on Dangerous Goods presents solutions to three typical industrial chemical problems faced by the system safety engineer during the design, storage, and disposal phases of a dangerous goods’ life cycle.

Book SynopsisThis book unies the common tensor analytical aspects in engineering and physics. Using tensor analysis enables the reader to understand complex physical phenomena from the basic principles in continuum mechanics including the turbulence, its correlations and modeling to the complex Einstein' tensor equation. The development of General Theory of Relativity and the introduction of spacetime geometry would not have been possible without the use of tensor analysis. This textbook is primarily aimed at students of mechanical, electrical, aerospace, civil and other engineering disciplines as well as of theoretical physics. It also covers the special needs of practicing professionals who perform CFD-simulation on a routine basis and would like to know more about the underlying physics of the commercial codes they use. Furthermore, it is suitable for self-study, provided that the reader has a sufficient knowledge of differential and integral calculus. Particular attention was paid to selecting the application examples. The transformation of Cartesian coordinate system into curvilinear one and the subsequent applications to conservation laws of continuum mechanics and the turbulence physics prepares the reader for fully understanding the Einstein tensor equations, which exhibits one of the most complex tensor equation in theoretical physics.Table of ContentsVectors and Tensors.- Transformation of Tensors.- Differential Operators in Continuum Mechanics.- Tensors and Kinematics.- Differential Balances in Continuum Mechanics.- Tensor Operations in Orthogonal Curvilinear.- Tensor Application, Navier-Stokes Equation.- Curves, Curvature, Surfaces, Geodesics.- Turbulent Flow, Modeling.- Special Theory of Relativity.- Tensors In General Theory of Relativity.

Book SynopsisThis graduate-level textbook introduces the reader to the area of inverse problems, vital to many fields including geophysical exploration, system identification, nondestructive testing, and ultrasonic tomography. It aims to expose the basic notions and difficulties encountered with ill-posed problems, analyzing basic properties of regularization methods for ill-posed problems via several simple analytical and numerical examples. The book also presents three special nonlinear inverse problems in detail: the inverse spectral problem, the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and the inverse scattering problem. The corresponding direct problems are studied with respect to existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on parameters. Ultimately, the text discusses theoretical results as well as numerical procedures for the inverse problems, including many exercises and illustrations to complement coursework in mathematics and engineering. This updated text includes a new chapter on the theory of nonlinear inverse problems in response to the field’s growing popularity, as well as a new section on the interior transmission eigenvalue problem which complements the Sturm-Liouville problem and which has received great attention since the previous edition was published. Trade Review“This monograph is a thorough and insightful introduction to the mathematics of inverse problems and a solid improvement of the previous editions, which were used to educate many researchers in the field over the last two and a half decades. As such, the volume is already a classic and can be recommended without reservations to any reader interested in both the foundations and specific examples of inverse problems relevant to modern engineering and sciences.” (Alexander Mamonov, SIAM Review, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)Table of ContentsIntroduction and Basic Concepts.- Regularization Theory for Equations of the First Kind.- Regularization by Discretization.- Nonlinear Inverse Problems.- Inverse Eigenvalue Problems.- An Inverse Problem in Electrical Impedance Tomography.- An Inverse Scattering Problem.- Basic Facts from Functional Analysis.- References.- Index.

Book SynopsisThis monograph considers the mathematical modeling of cellular adhesion, a key interaction force in cell biology. While deeply grounded in the biological application of cell adhesion and tissue formation, this monograph focuses on the mathematical analysis of non-local adhesion models. The novel aspect is the non-local term (an integral operator), which accounts for forces generated by long ranged cell interactions. The analysis of non-local models has started only recently, and it has become a vibrant area of applied mathematics. This monograph contributes a systematic analysis of steady states and their bifurcation structure, combining global bifurcation results pioneered by Rabinowitz, equivariant bifurcation theory, and the symmetries of the non-local term. These methods allow readers to analyze and understand cell adhesion on a deep level.Trade Review“Modelers who wish to use similar approaches in their modeling will find this a good source of base information, as well as a valuable guide for initiating similar analyses for their own models. Analysts wishing to expand our understanding … will find this book a fine building block. It could also prove a useful resource for graduate students looking for potential projects … . this monograph is an admirable attempt … and hopefully will inspire significant further study.” (Kevin Painter, SIAM Review, Vol. 64 (1), March, 2022)“The detailed analysis, as presented here, shows a stimulating interaction between model symmetries, mathematical analysis, and biological reality, which probably are inspired the authors and hopefully the readers of this book too.” (Andrey Zahariev, zbMATH 1473.92001, 2021)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Preliminaries.- The Periodic Problem.- Basic Properties.- Local Bifurcation.- Global Bifurcation.- Non-local Equations with Boundary Conditions.- No-flux Boundary Conditions.- Discussion and future directions.

Book SynopsisThis book is designed to serve as a textbook for courses offered to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in Mathematics. The first edition of this book was published in 2015. As there is a demand for the next edition, it is quite natural to take note of the several suggestions received from the users of the earlier edition over the past six years. This is the prime motivation for bringing out a revised second edition with a thorough revision of all the chapters. The book provides a clear understanding of the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus starting with the concepts of sequences and series of numbers, and also introduces slightly advanced topics such as sequences and series of functions, power series, and Fourier series which would be of use for other courses in mathematics for science and engineering programs. The salient features of the book are - precise definitions of basic concepts; several examples for understanding the concepts and for illustrating the results; includes proofs of theorems; exercises within the text; a large number of problems at the end of each chapter as home-assignments. The student-friendly approach of the exposition of the book would be of great use not only for students but also for the instructors. The detailed coverage and pedagogical tools make this an ideal textbook for students and researchers enrolled in a mathematics course. Table of ContentsSequence and Series of Real Numbers.- Limit, Continuity and Differentiability of Functions.- Definite Integral.- Improper Integrals.- Sequence and Series of Functions.- Fourier Series.- References.- Index.
