Bücher der Reihe Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications

The interest in control of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) sys tems has been triggered by the need to achieve tight distributed control of transport-reaction processes that exhibit highly nonlinear behavior and strong spatial variations.

This book lays a comprehensive theoretical foundation for the study of networked control systems, and introduces tools for work in the field. Covers characterization, comparison and design of information structures in static and dynamic teams and much more.

Discusses the methods of fighting against noise. This is a reference on the complete sets of equations for the optimal controls and for the optimal filters under wide band noises and shifted white noises and their possible application to navigation of spacecraft.

Surveys advances in mathematical systems theory and control. This book addresses cross-section of major research directions: hybrid systems theory, robust control and stability of linear and nonlinear systems, parametrization of linear systems and control of infinite dimensional systems.

This volume provides a general overview of discrete- and continuous-time Markov control processes and stochastic games, along with a look at the range of applications of stochastic control and some of its recent theoretical developments.

The theory of switched systems is related to the study of hybrid systems, which has gained attention from control theorists, computer scientists, and practicing engineers.

Featuring research from experts in sliding mode control, this book presents new design schemes for implementing an optimal control having the output system as the only information of the vector state. The benefit is greater applicability to real-world systems.

HIS book presents a generalized state-space theory for the analysis T and synthesis of finite horizon suboptimal Hoo controllers. Assuming the adequacy of linear expressions, Chapter 4 gives an iterative procedure for the synthesis of a suboptimal Hoo controller that yields the required performance even under parameter variations.

This book takes the topic of H-infinity control as a point of departure, and pursues an improved controller design suggested in the mainstream of robust control. Using stochastic methods, the book is important to the circuits and systems community, alongside researchers in networking systems, operator theory and linear multivariable control.

The first volume dealt with the simplest control systems (i.e., single input, single output linear time-invariant systems) and with the simplest algebraic geometry (i.e., affine algebraic geometry).

Covering key areas of optimal control theory, this book uses new methods to set out a version of OCT's more refined 'maximum principle' aimed at solving the problem of constructing optimal control strategies for uncertain systems with some unknown parameters.
