Advanced Mathematical Tools for Automatic Control Engineers, Volume 2: Stochastic Techniques

Description

The Second Volume of this work continues the approach of the First Volume, providing mathematical tools for the control engineer and examining such topics as random variables and sequences, iterative logarithmic and large number laws, differential equations, stochastic measurements and optimization, discrete martingales and probability space. Included are proofs of all theorems and contains many examples with solutions. Written for researchers, engineers and advanced students who wish to increase their familiarity with different topics of modern and classical mathematics related to system and automatic control theories. It is written for researchers, engineers and advanced students who wish to increase their familiarity with different topics of modern and classical mathematics related to system and automatic control theories with applications to game theory, machine learning and intelligent systems.
