Stability of Time-Variant Discrete-Time Systems (Advances in Control Systems and Signal Processing, 5) (German Edition)

In this monograph some stability properties of linear, time-variant, discrete-time systems are summarized, where some properties are well known, some are little-known facts, and a few may be new. Models for this treatise an the asymp- totical behaviour of solutions of difference equations are the commonly known excellent books of CESARI [3] and CONTI [5]. In the tables of Chapter 1 the definitions and the essen- tial statements an stability of discrete-time systems are summarized, such that Chapter 2 to 5 may be regarded as explaining appendices for these tables. I am grateful to Paul Ludyk, who typed and corrected the manuscript with great skill and patience, and Alois Ludyk, who drew the figures with great artistic skill.
