First sentence: In this book we present a unified qualitative theory for dynamical systems which is applicable to finite dimensional and infinite dimensional systems determined by various types of classical equations and inequalities (e.g., ordinary differential equations, ordinary difference equations, ordinary differential inequalities, ordinary difference inequalities, functional differential equations, partial differential equations, Volterra integrodifferential equations, and so forth) as well as contemporary technological systems which defy simple and tidy descriptions by such equations and inequalities (e.g., flexible manufacturing systems, temporal logic systems, computer networks, and other types of discrete event and hybrid systems).
