Abstract
Dissipativity theory gives a framework for the design and analysis of control systems using an input-output description based on energy-related considerations. Dissipativity is a notion which can be used in many areas of science, and it allows the control engineer to relate a set of efficient mathematical tools to well known physical phenomena. The insight gained in this way is very useful for a wide range of control problems. In particular the input-output description allows for a modular approach to control systems design and analysis.
