Returning to Coleridge's thought and Shakespeare criticism to reconstruct this idea as a form of "poetic faith", Michael Tomko here lays the foundations of a new theologically oriented mode of literary criticism. Bringing Coleridge into dialogue with thinkers ranging from Augustine to Josef Pieper, contemporary critics such as Stephen Greenblatt and Terry Eagleton as well as writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and Wendell Berry, Beyond the Willing Suspension of Disbelief offers a method of reading for post-secular literary criticism that is not only historically and politically aware but also deeply engaged with aesthetic form."--Bloomsbury Publishing.New directions in religion and literature.English poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etcLiterary theoryElectronic books.English poetryHistory and criticismTheory, etc.821.7Tomko Michael1066351UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511678203321Beyond the willing suspension of disbelief2549044UNINA04937nam 22007933u 450 991100680700332120230802010939.00-486-13481-41-62198-652-7(CKB)2550000001186534(EBL)1894785(SSID)ssj0001002759(PQKBManifestationID)12472980(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001002759(PQKBWorkID)11014736(PQKB)10773286(MiAaPQ)EBC1894785(Au-PeEL)EBL1894785(CaONFJC)MIL565905(OCoLC)868270990(EXLCZ)99255000000118653420141222d2012|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrOptimal Control and Estimation1st ed.Newburyport Dover Publications20121 online resource (1131 p.)Dover Books on MathematicsDescription based upon print version of record.0-486-68200-5 1-306-34654-1 Dover Books on Mathematics; Title Page; Dedication; Copyright Page; PREFACE TO THE DOVER EDITION; PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION; Table of Contents; 1 - INTRODUCTION; 1.1 FRAMEWORK FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL; 1.2 MODELING DYNAMIC SYSTEMS; 1.3 OPTIMAL CONTROL OBJECTIVES; 1.4 OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK; PROBLEMS; REFERENCES; 2 - THE MATHEMATICS OF CONTROL AND ESTIMATION; 2.1 SCALARS, VECTORS, AND MATRICES; 2.2 MATRIX PROPERTIES AND OPERATIONS; 2.3 DYNAMIC SYSTEM MODELS AND SOLUTIONS; 2.4 RANDOM VARIABLES, SEQUENCES, AND PROCESSES; 2.5 PROPERTIES OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS; 2.6 FREQUENCY DOMAIN MODELING AND ANALYSISPROBLEMSREFERENCES; 3 - OPTIMAL TRAJECTORIES AND NEIGHBORING- .

This highly regarded graduate-level text provides a comprehensive introduction to optimal control theory for stochastic systems, emphasizing application of its basic concepts to real problems. The first two chapters introduce optimal control and review the mathematics of control and estimation.
