Description and Table of Contents
Description
The only monograph on the topic, this book concerns geometric methods in the theory of differential equations with quadratic right-hand sides, closely related to the calculus of variations and optimal control theory. Based on the author's lectures, the book is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students, and scientific researchers.
