• Brings together eminent researchers from different engineering areas
• Promotes the recent theoretical developments on chaos control for physical and industrial applications.
• Includes an introductory survey written by Christian Mira, arguably chaos theory's most distinguished pioneer
• Introduces breakthrough concepts of modern control theory dedicated to chaotic systems study

In this truly pioneering work, Perroquetti and Barbot seek to move chaos theory into more advanced areas by borrowing from the automatic control field in the specific context of control and observation of chaotic systems. As the editors state, their intent is to acquaint the control systems community with chaos theory while familiarizing the specialists of chaotic dynamics with the recent advances on modern control theory. Consequently, the contributing authors concentrate on singular perturbation, sliding modes, high gain, and polytopic observers. While presenting fundamental theoretical background, the authors exhibit an interdisciplinary presentation of emergent methods and applications.
