Many dynamical phenomena seem to be very complex, but have a relatively simple structural cause, which can be discovered by graph-theoretical methods. This textbook describes for numerous scenarios how to use the structural properties of a system to simplify modelling, analysis or design tasks. The readers learn to extract structure graphs from diverse information and to solve problems of systems and control theory in a graph-theoretical way.

The book explains numerous graph-theoretical rep...
