Covers developments in bilinear systems theory
Focuses on the control of open physical processes functioning in a non-equilibrium mode
Emphasis is on three primary disciplines: modern differential geometry, control of dynamical systems, and optimization theory
Includes applications to the fields of quantum and molecular computing, control of physical processes, biophysics, superconducting magnetism, and physical information science
Panos M. Pardalos is one of the leading experts in global optimization and control theory. V. Yatsenko's research is connected with control of bilinear systems, nonlinear estimation, control of quantum systems, and globabl optimization problems. Both Pardalos and Yatsenko have authored numerous publications including books and well-known scientific journals.
