Description:
"This book describes the first comprehensive methodology for active failure detection over finite and infinite intervals of observation. The authors are the top researchers in this field, and I anticipate their book will prompt other significant contributions."--Bernard Levy, University of California, Davis
"This is the first book I have seen that thoroughly and rigorously addresses an important niche in failure detection."--Frank Lewis, University of Texas, Arlington
Review Quotes: "Aimed at a broad audience that includes graduate students in engineering and applied mathematics, the book is notable for its emphasis and focus on mathematical intuition and numerical issues. It is very well written, with an attention to detail and rigor. . . . [T]he material is accessible to a wide audience with interests in areas such as control theory of differential equations."---Bogdan I. Epureanu, IEEE Control Systems
