An up-to-date survey of the theory of port-Hamiltonian systems is given, emphasizing novel
developments and relationships with other formalisms. Port-Hamiltonian systems theory …

In this chapter we present a state space interpretation of the small gain and passivity
approach of the previous chapter. Moreover, we will come to some kind of synthesis …

The basic starting point of port-Hamiltonian systems theory is network modeling; considering
the overall physical system as the interconnection of simple subsystems, mutually …

Energy exchange is a major foundation of the dynamics of physical systems, and, hence, in
the study of complex multi-domain systems, methodologies that explicitly describe the …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph, dedicated to dissipative linear or
nonlinear, autonomous or time-varying, smooth or nonsmooth, single-valued or set-valued …

A Hamiltonian formulation of classes of distributed-parameter systems is presented, which
incorporates the energy flow through the boundary of the spatial domain of the system, and …

The use of the symmetries of a physical system in the study of its dynamics has a long
history that goes back to the founders of c1assical mechanics. Symmetry-based tech niques …

Associated with a skew-symmetric linear operator on the spatial domain a,b we define a
Dirac structure which includes the port variables on the boundary of this spatial domain. This …

The theory of port-Hamiltonian systems provides a framework for the geometric description
of network models of physical systems. It turns out that port-based network models of …

In this paper we show how, using the Hamiltonian formalism, we can systematically derive
mathematical models that describe the behaviour of a large class of switching power …
