Functional analysis and control theory. Linear systems. (Transl. from the Polish). (English) Zbl 0633.93002

The present book gives a very good exposition of the applications of functional analysis to control and optimization theory.
The contents are divided into eight chapters. The first four chapters of the book can be treated as a short course of functional analysis, where engineering and economical interpretations of the fundamental notions are given. In the fifth chapter the theory of general linear systems is developed. Chapter 6 contains applications of the theory developed in Chapter 5 to systems described by ordinary differential equations. Chapter 7 presents applications to systems described by partial differential equations. The last chapter is concerned with the problems of stability and optimal controllability for systems described by differential equations in Banach spaces.
This book is addressed not only to mathematicians but also to engineers, economists and other specialists interested in optimization and control theory.
