"Recent years have witnessed enormous strides in the field of robust control of dynamical systems-- unfortunately, many of these developments have only been accessible to a small group of experts. In this text for students and control engineers, the authors examines all of these advances, providing an in-depth and exhaustive examination of modern optimal and robust control.
