Set-valued, convex, and nonsmooth analysis are relatively modern branches of mathematical analysis and increasingly relevant in current control theory and control engineering literature. The first book of this scope and at this level, Set-Valued, Convex, and Nonsmooth Analysis in Dynamics and Control serves as a broad introduction to the field and to applications in dynamical and control systems. Continuous-time and discrete-time multivalued dynamics, modeled by differential and difference inclusions, are treated next to one another and often interchangeably.
