“In this book, the author addresses some problems regarding the design of feedback laws and an analysis of the interaction of the interconnected systems. ... this is a well-structured book intended for researchers in control theory and engineers familiar with the topic.” (Mohamed Ouzahra, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2017)
