From the reviews:

„A unique monograph on characterizations of dissipative dynamic systems and control designs for such systems. It is an excellent book for its diverse technical contents as well as its clear presentation. It is an excellent book for its diverse technical contents as well as its clear presentation. … I found the contents of this book very rich in terms of both theoretical results and practical considerations … . I strongly recommend this book to those who are interested in dynamic systems and control.“ (Gang Tao, International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Vol. 18 (4), 2004)

„This new book presents a very good advanced introduction to dissipative systems with focus on feedback control. … This book excellently combines the theoretical outline including the mathematical foundations with lots of elaborate examples. There is almost no concept or consideration which is not illustrated by some calculation for a given system. This is the real strength of this monograph … . this book is really to be recommended to those who seek a sound, well written and far-reaching introduction.“ (Holger Kantz, Measurement Science and Technology, Vol. 12 (12), 2001)
