Abstract :
In this paper some of the important but little-known pioneering results in mathematical system theory, developed by R.W. Bass in the period 1956-1965, are described. In particular, Bass´s early researches on describing-function theory, the pole-assignment problem, control canonical forms, full-order state-observers, bang-bang/sliding-mode control laws, minimax control theory, and general linear system theory are described and documented
