Dissipativity and energy-related properties in control systems

Dissipativity and passivity-related properties in nonlinear discrete-time systems. Barcelona Industrial Engineering School, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Institut d’Organització i Control de Sistemes Industrials (IOC, Institute of Organisation and Control of Industrial Systems, former Institute of Cybernetics), Barcelona, Spain, June 2002. ISBN: 84-688-1941-7. Supervisor: Professor Enric Fossas i Colet. It was one of the first works on feedback dissipativity of nonlinear discrete-time systems, and was shortlisted for the best PhD UPC dissertation prize; currently used in networked control systems, optimisation problems and green computing.
