Abstract

This chapter provides a brief review of several concepts that are used throughout this book. The first section presents the notation. In the second section, stability of nonlinear systems is discussed followed by a brief overview of stabilization (control) of nonlinear systems. In the last section, a review of nonlinear and dynamic optimization concepts is presented.
