Bücher von Robert Kalaba

This book is a self-contained text devoted to the numerical determination of optimal inputs for system identification. The book can be used for a two-semester course in control theory, system identification, and optimal inputs.

For many years it has been an article of faith of numerical analysts that the evaluation of derivatives of complicated functions should be avoided. The recent developments described in this text allow the evaluation of derivatives using simple automatic derivative evaluation subroutines pro grammed in FORTRAN or BASIC.
