<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A comprehensive introduction to hybrid control systems and design</b> <p/>Hybrid control systems exhibit both discrete changes, or jumps, and continuous changes, or flow. An example of a hybrid control system is the automatic control of the temperature in a room: the temperature changes continuously, but the control algorithm toggles the heater on or off intermittently, triggering a discrete jump within the algorithm. Hybrid control systems feature widely across disciplines, including biology, computer science, and engineering, and examples range from the control of cellular responses to self-driving cars. Although classical control theory provides powerful tools for analyzing systems that exhibit either flow or jumps, it is ill-equipped to handle hybrid control systems. <p/>In <i>Hybrid Feedback Control, </i>Ricardo Sanfelice presents a self-contained introduction to hybrid control systems and develops new tools for their analysis and design. Hybrid behavior can occur in one or more subsystems of a feedback system, and Sanfelice offers a unified control theory framework, filling an important gap in the control theory literature. In addition to the theoretical framework, he includes a plethora of examples and exercises, a Matlab toolbox (as well as two open-source versions), and an insightful overview at the beginning of each chapter. <p/>Relevant to dynamical systems theory, applied mathematics, and computer science, <i>Hybrid Feedback Control</i> will be useful to students and researchers working on hybrid systems, cyber-physical systems, control, and automation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ricardo G.
