Complex systems science relies heavily on linear stability analysis, in which state of a dynamic system (more correctly, its dynamic regime) is assessed basically by inspecting the dominant curvature ...

Unified treatment of continuous and discrete time systems from a state-variable viewpoint; emphasis on linear systems. Concept of state, writing and solving state equations, controllability and ...

Infinite-dimensional systems, characterised by state spaces of infinite dimension such as those described by partial differential equations, present profound challenges and opportunities within ...
