Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory and Application, Volume 17 deals with the theory of differential games and its applications. It provides a unique presentation of the differential game theory as well as the use of algorithms for solving this complex class problems. This book discusses fundamental concepts and system problem formulation for differential game systems. It also considers pursuit-evasion games and on-line real time computer control techniques. This book will serve as a useful reference for those interested in effective computations for differential games.
Control and Dynamic Systems, Volume 22: Decentralized/Distributed Control and Dynamic Systems, Part 1 deals with advances in techniques for the analysis and synthesis of decentralized or distributed control and dynamic systems. This book begins with a unique presentation of important results and techniques that decentralized control systems often face due to the fact that the individual systems in a collection or set of decentralized control systems are somewhat incomplete. The controllability, observability, implications, and powerful techniques for stabilization and control of decentralized systems are also discussed. The next chapters describe the covariance equivalent realizations with a...
Volume 19: Nonlinear and Kalman Filtering Techniques, Part 1 of 3 covers the advances in the techniques and technology of nonlinear filters and Kalman filters. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory and applications of nonlinear filters and Kalman filters. Chapters are devoted to the discussion of the exact and approximate state estimation techniques for nonlinear dynamic systems; computational efficiencies in the various approaches to filtering techniques; the implementation of filters by the use of microprocessors and distributed processor systems; and practical means for dealing with nonlinearities. Engineers, economists, seismologists, meteorologists, and communications experts will find this book a good reference material.
Control and Dynamic Systems, Volume 18: Advances in Theory and Applications provides the techniques for the analysis and synthesis of large-scale complex systems. This book begins with a comprehensive treatment of component cost analysis of large-scale systems, including cost balancing methods for system design, failure mode analysis, model reduction techniques, and design of lower-order controllers that meet on-line controller software limitations. The problem of reduced-order modeling and filtering, linear multivariable systems synthesis techniques, and digital control of dynamical systems are deliberated in the next chapters. This publication concludes with the ship propulsion dynamics simulation and analysis and synthesis of complex distributed parameter systems. This volume is beneficial to students and researchers conducting work on advances in large-scale complex systems.
Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory and Application, Volume 16 is concerned with applied dynamic systems control techniques. It describes various techniques for system modeling, which apply to several systems issues. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of powerful algorithmic techniques for solving dynamic-system optimization problems. It also describes approaches for systems model that apply to system issues such as time delays. The remaining chapters of this book explore the simulation of large closed-loop systems and optimization of low-order feedback controllers for discrete-time systems. Researchers who wish to broaden their understanding of dynamic systems control techniques will find this book invaluable.
