Control Systems Theory.

Abstract : Research conducted under AFOSR Grant 71-2116, Control Systems Theory, is comprehensively reviewed. The work is classified into two major categories of estimation theory and control theory. Within the former, results are reported in the areas of polynomial filtering, adaptive filtering, data smoothing, applied estimation theory, observer theory, and data compression and random sampling. In the latter, the focus is on multivariable control system design, and the research presented is in the areas of computer-aided design, design theory, controls-configured systems, and multivariable servomechanisms. A chronological listing of 45 publications and 9 Ph.D. theses that resulted from the research supported by the grant is included.
