A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE THEORY OF CONTROL
Abstract
Automatic control is treated from a function point of view. If this approach can be properly extended the present theory can be converted into a mathematical discipline. Control, in a perfect sense, is defined. Then a number of system configurations of progressing complexity are investigated. The input signals which must be generated to yield desired outputs are derived for seven cases, ranging from an open-loop configuration to a signal adaptive system. Finally, the limitations of these analyses and suggestions for future studies are noted. (Author)
