The book touches upon all the major themes: stability theory, feedback control, time lag, prediction theory, dynamic programming, \"bang-bang\" control, and maximum principles.The book opens with J. C. Maxwell's \"On Governors\" and continues with \"The Control of an Elastic Fluid\" by H. Bateman; an essay by editors Bellman and Kalaba, \"The Work of Lyapunov and Poincaré\"; Hurwitz's \"On the Conditions Under Which an Equation Has Only Roots With Negative Real Parts\"; Nyquist's \"Regeneration Theory\"; \"Feedback - The History of an Idea\" by H. W. Bode; a paper on forced oscillations in a circuit by B. van der Pol; \"Self-excited Oscillations in Dynamical Systems Possessing Retarded Action\" by N. Minorsky; \"An Extension of Wiener's Theory of Prediction\" by Zadeh and Ragazzini; \"Time Optimal Control Systems\" by J. P. LaSalle; \"On the Theory of Optimal Processes\" by Boltyanskii, Gamkrelidze, and Pontryagin; Bellman's \"On the Application of the Theory of Dynamic Programming to the Study of Control Processes\"; and the editors' study \"Dynamic Programming and Adaptive Processes: Mathematical Foundation.\" Each paper is introduced with a brief account of its significance and with some suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979382096160,"sku":"NEW048681856X","price":23.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/classic-papers-in-control-theory-dover-books-on-engineering-048681856x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
