The papers contributed to this volume bring to light some fundamental advances and innovative techniques and collectively contribute significantly to our understanding of a multiplicity of physical, biological, and economic phenomena. Part I of this book present new ideas and developments in dynamics, dynamical systems, and control. Part II presents novel techniques and their applications to a broad variety of problems ranging from the control of cars and robots to optimal spacecraft trajectories to Mars. The papers of Part III explore the potential of dynamics and control for contributing to our understanding of areas such as drug consumption, economic games, epidemics, and human posture control.
