A Functional Analysis Framework for Modeling, Estimation and Control in Science and Engineering

This work presents functional analysis as a tool for understanding and treating distributed parameter systems. Drawing on his extensive research and teaching from the past 20 years, the author explains how functional analysis can be the basis of modern PDE and DDE techniques. He covers many recent applications of functional analysis in HIV models, noncooperative games, structured population models, electromagnetic materials, delay systems, and control and inverse problems. He also addresses computational aspects of select problems/applications.
