Geometric control and nonsmooth analysis : in honor of the 73rd birthday of H. Hermes and of the 71st birthday of R.T. Rockafellar /

The aim of this volume is to provide a synthetic account of past research, to give an up-to-date guide to current intertwined developments of control theory and nonsmooth analysis, and also to point to future research directions.
