This volume contains expanded versions of talks delivered by leading experts at the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems Symposium (MTNS 98) in Padova, Italy, in July 1998. It is a valuable reference for anyone with an interest in the analysis anddesign of engineering systems.
Systems, control, and network theory have permeated the development of much of present-day technology. The impact has been visible in the past fifty years through the dramatic expansion and achievements of the aerospaceand avionics industry, through applications to process control and factory automation, robotics, communication signals analysis and synthesis, and, more recently, even finance, to name just the most visible applications. The theory has developed from theearly phase of its history when the basic tools were elementary complex analysis, Laplace transform, and linear differential equations, to the present day, where the mathematics ranges widely from functional analysis, PDEs, abstract algebra, stochastic processes and differential geometry. Irrespective of the particular tools, however, the basic unifying paradigms of feedback, stability, optimal control, and recursive filtering have remained the bulk of the field and continue to form the basic motivation of the theory coming from the real wo rld.
This book is a collection of essays devoted in part to new research directions in systems, networks and control theory, and in part to the growing interaction of these disciplines with coding, computer vision, and hybrid systems. The essays, written by world-renowned experts in the field, reproduce and expand plenary and minicourse/minisymposia invited lectures which were delivered at the Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems Symposium (MTNS-98) held inPadova, Italy, on July 6-10, 1998.
This volume should be a valuable reference to graduate students, scientists, and researchers in the area of information and control engineering and to mathematicians with an interest in the analysis and design of engineering systems. It should be also valuable to the system and control community as an introduction to system-related methods in coding, vision, and control of hybrid systems. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Dynamical Systems, Control, Coding, Computer Vision: New Trends, Interfaces, and Interplay (Progress in Systems and Control Theory, V. 25) (Giorgio Picci, David S. Gilliam)
