Casti J.L. Linear dynamical systems

Academic Press, 1987. - 351 Pages. ISBN: 0121634515.
Volume 135 "Mathematics in Science and Engineering".The past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in mathematical system theory with major advances in the understanding of systems governed by functional differential equations, n-d systems, system identification, numerical methods, and frequency-domain techniques, not to mention the creation of an elegant and comprehensive algebraic and geometric theory of linear systems. And this is just for linear systems; much more can be said about new results in bifurcation theory, chaos, fractals, and other nonlinear phenomena, some of which is treated in my volume, Nonlinear System Theory (Academic Press, 1985), a companion to the present work.
