Sommario/riassunto |

BRITISH & IRISH HISTORY. Deborah is a British First World War tank that rose from the grave after taking part in one of the most momentous battles in history. In November 1917 she played a leading role in the first successful massed tank attack at Cambrai. Eighty years later, in a remarkable feat of archaeology, the tank's buried remains were rediscovered and excavated, and are now preserved as a memorial to the battle and to the men who fought in it. John Taylor's book tells the tale of the tank and her crew and tracks down their descendants to uncover a human story every bit as compelling as the military one. |

"Presents a model-based algebraic approach to on-line parameter and state estimation in uncertain dynamic feedback control systemsAlgebraic Identification and Estimation Methods in Feedback Control Systems presents the model-based algebraic approach to on-line parameter and state estimation in uncertain dynamic feedback control systems. This approach evades the mathematical intricacies of the traditional stochastic approach, proposing a direct model-based scheme with several, easy to implement, computational advantages. This book contains many illustrative, tutorial style, developed examples of the recently introduced algebraic approach for parameter and state estimation in a variety of physical systems of continuous, and discrete, nature. The developments include some laboratory experimental results in several areas related to mechatronics systems. The reader, with an engineering level mathematical background and through the many expository examples, will be able to master the use and understand the consequences of the highly theoretical differential algebraic viewpoint in control systems theory"-- |
