Engineering education. 330 $aThis volume?dedicated to Michael K. Sain on the occasion of his seventieth birthday?is a collection of chapters covering recent advances in stochastic optimal control theory and algebraic systems theory. Written by experts in their respective fields, the chapters are thematically organized into four parts: * Part I focuses on statistical control theory, where the cost function is viewed as a random variable and performance is shaped through cost cumulants. In this respect, statistical control generalizes linear-quadratic-Gaussian and H-infinity control. * Part II addresses algebraic systems theory, reviewing the use of algebraic systems over semirings, modules of zeros for linear multivariable systems, and zeros in linear time-delay systems. * Part III discusses advances in dynamical systems characteristics. The chapters focus on the stability of a discontinuous dynamical system, approximate decentralized fixed modes, direct optimal adaptive control, and stability of nonlinear systems with limited information. * Part IV covers engineering education and includes a unique chapter on theology and engineering, one of Sain's latest research interests. The book will be a useful reference for researchers and graduate students in systems and control, algebraic systems theory, and applied mathematics. Requiring only knowledge of undergraduate-level control and systems theory, the work may be used as a supplementary textbook in a graduate course on optimal control or algebraic systems theory. 410 0$aSystems & control. 606 $aStochastic control theory 606 $aNonlinear control theory 606 $aSystem analysis 606 $aDifferentiable dynamical systems 615 0$aStochastic control theory. 615 0$aNonlinear control theory. 615 0$aSystem analysis. 615 0$aDifferentiable dynamical systems. 676 $a515.642 676 $a519.2 701 $aWon$b Chang-Hee$01471150 701 $aSchrader$b Cheryl B$01471151 701 $aMichel$b Anthony N$026206 701 $aSain$b Michael K$058392 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781166403321 996 $aAdvances in statistical control, algebraic systems theory, and dynamic systems characteristics$93683322 997 $aUNINA
