Advances in statistical control, algebraic systems theory, and dynamic systems characteristics: a tribute to Michael K. Sain

This volume - dedicated to Michael K. Sain - is a collection of invited chapters covering recent advances in stochastic optimal control theory and algebraic systems theory. Written by the experts in their respective fields, the chapters are thematically organized into four parts: optimal cost function, algebraic systems theory and its use in linear multivariable systems; advances in dynamical systems characteristics; and related engineering applications and theireducational value. The book will be an excellent reference for researchers and graduate students in control systems, algebraic systems theory, and applied mathematics. Requiring only knowledge of undergraduate-level control and systems theory, the work may be used as a supplementary textbook in a graduate course on optimal control or algebraic systems theory. No other books on statistical control are available. Algebraic systems theory is also not widely published in book form Real-world applications to biomedical engineering, structuring control systems, and automotive engineering For a broad audience of researchers and graduate students in control systems, algebraic system theory, and applied mathematics INDICE: Preface.- Part I.
