Matrix diagonal stability in systems and computation

the long version

"Matrix diagonal stability and the related diagonal-type Liapunov functions possess properties that make them attractive and very useful for applications. This new book addresses the matrix-stability concept and its applications to the analysis and design of several types of discrete-time and continuous-time dynamical systems.". "The book provides an essential reference for new methods and analysis related to dynamical systems described by linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations and difference equations. Researchers, professionals, and graduates in applied mathematics, control engineering, stability of dynamical systems, and scientific computation will find the book a useful guide to current results and developments."--BOOK JACKET.
