| book description |

With respect to the first edition as Volume 218 in the Lecture Notes in ConÂ trol and Information Sciences series the basic idea of the second edition has remained the same: to provide a compact presentation of some basic ideas in the classical theory of input-output and closed-loop stability, together with a choice of contributions to the recent theory of nonlinear robust and 1foo control and passivity-based control. Nevertheless, some parts of the book have been thoroughly revised and/or expanded, in order to have a more balanced presenÂ tation of the theory and to include some of the new developments which have been taken place since the appearance of the first edition. I soon realized, howÂ ever, that it is not possible to give a broad exposition of the existing literature in this area without affecting the spirit of the book, which is precisely aimed at a compact presentation. So as a result the second edition still reflects very much my personal taste and research interests. I trust that others will write books emphasizing different aspects. Major changes with respect to the first edition are the following: â€¢ A new section has been added in Chapter 2 relating L2-gain and passivity via scattering, emphasizing a coordinate-free, geometric, treatment. â€¢ The section on stability in Chapter 3 has been thoroughly expanded, also incorporating some recent results presented in [182J.
