Controllability of dynamic systems: the green's function approach

This work is about the possibilities of involvement of the well-known Green's function method in exact or approximate controllability analysis for dynamic systems.

Due to existing extensions of the Green's function notion to nonlinear systems, the approach developed here is valid for systems with both linear and nonlinear dynamics.

The book offers a number of particular examples, covering specific issues that make the controllability analysis sophisticated, such as coordinate dependent characteristics, point sources, unbounded domains, higher dimensions, and specific nonlinearities.

It also offers extensive numerical analysis, which reveals both advantages and drawbacks of the approach.
