Control and estimation of systems with input/output delays. (Q877146)

In the monograph linear both continuous-time and discrete-time dynamical systems defined in finite-dimensional state spaces are considered. It is generally assumed, that there are many constant point delays both in the control and ouput. Using general results taken directly from the theory of control and estimation, many special cases of optimal control and optimal estimation for delayed dynamical systems are investigated. Estimation for systems with multiple state and measurements delays is also considered. Using theory of systems with delays, many control and estimation problems are converted into delay free problems, which allows to use standard techniques in systems analysis. Moreover, several special cases are detail studied and simple analytical solutions to control and estimations problems are presented. In the monograph theory of functional analysis and linear algebra are extensively used in the proofs of the main results. The monograph contains several illustrative examples, remarks and comments concerning mainly dynamical systems with delays. The list of references contains 112 positions, published in recent years. Each chapter contains final remarks and conclusions illustrating theoretical considerations. Finally, it should be pointed out, that theory of dynamical systems with delays and estimation has been recently considered in many monographs and papers, for example in monograph [\textit{J. Klamka}, Controllability of dynamical systems, Kluwer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands (1991; Zbl 0732.93008), Chapter 4], and [\textit{T. Kailath}, \textit{A. H. Sayed} and \textit{B. Hassibi}, Linear estimation, Prentice-Hall, Englewood, Clifts, New York (1999)].
