Hybrid systems as a class are one of the coming things in control. Demand for this title will come primarily from academic researchers. The applicability of switched systems in popular fields like robust and intelligent control and their association with H¥ and state-space approaches will make it popular with a world-wide audience.

Provides a strategic framework for research into an important class of hybrid systems which will facilitate the interrelation of previous results and instil a rational approach to further work The first window in book form on the latest research from a prolific and well-respected control laboratory
