Foundations of Optimal Control Theory.

Wishart, D. M. G., Lee, E. B., Markus, L.·1969·Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series A (General)

Abstract

Abstract : This complete and authoritative presentation of the current status of control theory offers a useful foundation for both study and research. With emphasis on general nonlinear differential systems, the book is carefully and systematically developed from elementary motivating examples, through the most comprehensive theory, to the final numerical solution of serious scientific and engineering control problems. The book features reviews of the most recent researches on processes described by partial differential equations, functional- differential, and delay-differential equations; the most recent treatment of impulse controllers, bounded rate controllers, feedback controllers, and bounded phase problems; and many unpublished new research results of the authors. In addition to an exhaustive treatment of the quantitative problems of optimal control, the qualitative concepts of stability, controllability, observability, and plant recognition receive a complete exposition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
