Editorial Review: This book is written is such a way that the level of mathematical sophistication builds up from chapter to chapter. It has been reorganized into four parts: basic analysis, analysis of feedback systems, advanced analysis, and nonlinear feedback control. Updated content includes subjects which have proven useful in nonlinear control design in recent years—new in the 3rd edition are: expanded treatment of passivity and passivity-based control; integral control, high-gain feedback, recursive methods, optimal stabilizing control, control Lyapunov functions, and observers. For use as a self-study or reference guide by engineers and applied mathematicians.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - arrogant author
The author of this book is quite arrogant. Phrases such as "it is easy to see", "clearly it can be seen that", and "it is obvious to see" only serve to frustrate the learner. If it was already so "obvious" or "clear", we would have no need of reading the book in the first place. This book is a run of the mill nonlinear systems book and the author is undeserving of his own praise.
Rating:  - Good Text
As far as most grad level controls textbooks go, this one is pretty decent. The theorems have some examples, and the proofs are put in the appendix for good continuity.
Rating:  - excellent
Used this for a Nonlinear Control Theory Class. It was a little short on Control Theory (didn't include much adaptive control etc) but has such good coverage of nonlinear stability theory that it is extremely applicable for a Control Theory class. Does a great job explaining complicated ideas, and does a spectacular job providing references for more information.
This book won the IFAC Control Engineering Textbook Prize in 2002, but its greatness can more accurately be established by ... Read More
Rating: - Nonlinear Systems (3rd Edition)
This book offers a deep explanation about the stability foundation regarding Lyapunov Theorem. It is strongly advisable this book for any researcher who is intending to follow this filed of work.
Rating: - Improvement over the first edition
The third edition contains material about high gain observers and sliding modes which are welcome additions. The book also contains sections about backstepping and passivity techniques. As in the first edition the author's writing is clear and concise. It is a good complement to Vidyasagar's Nonlinear Systems book.
