One of the major concentrated activities of the past decade in control theory has been the development of the so-called "e;HOO-optimal control theory,"e; which addresses the issue of worst-case controller design for linear plants subject to unknown additive disturbances, including problems of disturbance attenuation, model matching, and tracking.
In light of recent alarming environmental trends combined with increasing commercial viability of fuel cells, the time is propitious for a book focusing on the systematic aspects of cell plant technology.

Adequate verification is the key issue not only in today's arms control, arms limitation, and disarmament regimes, but also in less spectacular areas like auditing in economics or control of environmental pollution.
The problem of controlling or stabilizing a system of differential equa- tions in the presence of random disturbances is intuitively appealing and has been a motivating force behind a wide variety of results grouped loosely together under the heading of "e;Stochastic Control.
