Numerical Algebra, Matrix Theory, Differential-Algebraic Equations and Control Theory

The book "Numerical Algebra, Matrix Theory, Differential-Algebraic Equations and Control Theory" is a comprehensive collection of scientific contributions that honors the significant work of Volker Mehrmann, a leading expert in the fields of numerical algebra, matrix theory, differential-algebraic equations, and control theory. These mathematical research areas are closely interconnected and are frequently applied in various real-world scenarios, particularly in engineering and natural sciences, as well as increasingly in social sciences and economics. The publication reflects the essential phases of Mehrmann's career and provides deep insights into his significant contributions, which are discussed in the first two parts of the book. The third part is dedicated to his groundbreaking work on differential-algebraic equations, developed in collaboration with Peter Kunkel. Each chapter offers an independent scientific discussion and serves as a reference work for selected topics in the fields of numerical algebra and matrix theory.
