These papers were presented at the first EC-TMR Nonlinear Control Network Workshop, on Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems, that took place in March 1999, Ghent, Belgium. The TMR programme offers a unique opportunity for the academic community to expand their knowledge, share their experience and identify and discuss strategic issues in aspects of nonlinear control engineering. The aim is to create a resource centre of available expertise and research interests. This outstanding reference volume presents current and emerging research directions, including: Stability analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems and converse Lyapunov theorems; Stabilization and regulation of nonlinear dynamical control systems; Control of physical systems using physics-based Lyapunov functions and passivity, as well as bifurcation analysis and optimal control. This collection of peer-reviewed papers provides a comprehensive overview of this field of research for graduate students and researchers in engineering and applied mathematics.
