This book, treating control system design using \(H^\infty\) techniques and \(H^\infty\) theory motivated by control applications, is a very good tool for a large number of people interested in control and in \(H^\infty\) theory, from undergraduate students and engineers to research mathematicians. Here the reader can find answers to practical and theoretical problems, even by a partial reading, because the book is written in a highly modular way. The book has six parts, 20 chapters, and more then 160 sections, offering to the reader information in control theory or \(H^\infty\) at any level. The first two parts present in a simple form control system design, converting an engineering problem to one that can be put into a mathematical optimization package. Theory in the frequency domain can be found in the next three parts (III, IV and V). Here, the mathematical background on \(H^\infty\) is found to extend the theory to multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Semidefinite programming solves a great variety of engineering optimization problems, especially in finding matrices that satisfy a collection of positive definite linear matrix inequalities. These aspects can be found in part V. The last part contains appendices where history and perspectives of the topic are presented, as well as a lot of applied cases. The book is very interesting in itself from a mathematical point of view. Connecting this with engineering design, has led to a very useful book (cf. the review below: Zbl 0908.93003).
