Topics in Time Delay Systems

This volume is divided into five parts, each of them composed of five to eight chapters. They are respectively devoted to Analysis and Methodology (Part I), Numerical Methods and Algorithms (Part II), Control and Observation (Part III), Propagation and Flows (Part IV), and Delay Effects in Interconnected Systems and Networks (Part V). The first part is concerned with the analysis of the systems with delays, with a special attention paid to their stability properties and characterizations. The second part is devoted to numerical tools and algorithms, and the third part to the control and observation of time delay systems. The fourth and fifth part are concerned with applications ranging from propagation and flow models to interconnected systems and networks. In what follows we present the different chapters and streams of the different parts.
