Discrete-Time and Discrete-Space Dynamical Systems
About this ebook
- Boolean control networks;
- nondeterministic finite-transition systems;
- finite automata;
- labelled Petri nets; and
- cellular automata.
Academic researchers with backgrounds in applied mathematics, engineering or computer science and practising engineers working with discrete-time and discrete-space systems will find this book a helpful source of new understanding for this increasingly important class of systems. The basic results to be found within are of fundamental importance for further study of related problems such as automated synthesis and safety control in cyber-physical systems using formal methods.
