Functional analysis provides a concise conceptual framework for linear control theory. This self-contained text, geared toward engineering students, demonstrates the subject's unity. A wide range of powerful theorems illustrates inner product spaces; instability, controllability, and observability; minimum norm and time control; and distributed systems. 1980 edition. Reprint of the Academic Press, London, 1980 edition.
