Information previously available only in journal articles and research papers has been brought together in this outstanding text. Uses the unifying theme of monotone structure to transcend the two-perspective approach to DES--one stressing logical/qualitative issues and the other temporal/quantitative analysis--to encompass elements from both. Features notes and references at the end of each chapter.

Some Basic Concepts.

Antimatroid Structure: Monotonicity.

Lattice Structure: Convexity and Concavity.

Links to Other Models.

Monotone Optimal Control.

Subadditivity and Stability.

Association and Optimal Coupling.

Perturbation Analysis.
