Optimization and Control of Bilinear Systems: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

The present book is based on results of scientific investigations and on the materials of special courses, offered for graduate and undergraduate students. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the developments in bilinear systems theory and its applications. Particular attention is paid to control of open physical processes functioning in a nonequilibrium mode. The text consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 is concerned with the problems of systems analysis of bilinear pr...
