Dedicated to our Friend and Collaborator W. P. Dayawansa on the Occasion of his Fiftieth Birthday

Preface

Papers in this collection partly represent the set of talks that were presented at Texas Tech University on the occasion of Daya’s memorial workshop in the year 2007. Daya had a varied interest in the field of Dynamics and Control Theory and the papers bring out the essence of his involvement in these activities. He also had a large number of collaborators and this collection represent a good fraction of them. The papers included here cover his interest in control theory. Also included are papers from application areas that we believe are of strong interest to him. As editors of this collection, we would like to thank all those individuals who participated in the 2007 workshop and subsequently took the time to contribute to the success of this publication. We would also like to thank others who were enthusiastic about this publication but were unable to submit a paper at this time. Our special thanks go to Mervyn Parakrama Ekanayake and Indika Wijayasinghe for their tireless efforts to put all the papers together. We would hope that this pub
