Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate engineering students, this text introduces the theory and applications of optimal control. It serves as a bridge to the technical literature, enabling students to evaluate the implications of theoretical control work, and to judge the merits of papers on the subject. 1963 edition. Reprint of the McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1963 edition.
Optimal Control and Estimation by Robert F. Stengel Graduate-level text provides introduction to optimal control theory for stochastic systems, emphasizing application of basic concepts to real problems.
Optimal Control Theory: An Introduction by Donald E. Kirk Upper-level undergraduate text introduces aspects of optimal control theory: dynamic programming, Pontryagin's minimum principle, and numerical techniques for trajectory optimization. Numerous figures, tables. Solution guide available upon request. 1970 edition.
Adaptive Filtering Prediction and Control by Graham C Goodwin, Kwai Sang Sin This unified survey focuses on linear discrete-time systems and explores natural extensions to nonlinear systems. It emphasizes discrete-time systems, summarizing theoretical and practical aspects of a large class of adaptive algorithms. 1984 edition.
