Summary
This book is devoted to the phenomenon of synchronization and its application for determining the values of Lyapunov exponents. In recent years, the idea of synchronization has become an object of great interest in many areas of science, e.g., biology, communication or laser physics. Over the last decade, new types of synchronization have been identified and some interesting new ideas concerning the synchronization have also appeared. This book presents the complete synchronization problem rather than just results from the research. The problem is demonstrated in relation to a kind of coupling applied between dynamical systems, whereby a unique classification of possible couplings is introduced. Another novel feature is the connection presented between synchronization and the problem of determining the Lyapunov exponents, especially for non-differentiable systems. A detailed proposal of such an estimation method and examples of its application are included.

Summary
The main goal of this book is to prove analytically and validate experimentally that synchronization in multi-composed mechanical systems can be achieved in the case of partial knowledge of the state vector of the systems, i.e. when only positions are measured. For this purpose, synchronization schemes based on interconnections between the systems, feedback controllers and observers are proposed. Because mechanical systems include a large variety of systems, and since it is impossible to address all of them, the book focuses on robot manipulators. Nonetheless the ideas developed here can be ex.
