The Stability and Control of Discrete Processes

Professor J. P. LaSalle died on July 7, 1983 at the age of 67. The present book is being published posthumously with the careful assistance of Kenneth Meyer, one of the students of Professor LaSalle. It is appropriate that the last publi­ cation of Professor LaSalle should be on a subject which con­...
