THEORY OF RANDOM FUNCTIONS AND ITS APPLICATION TO PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL,

Abstract

This book offers a systematic presentation of the applied theory of random functions and probability methods in the theory of automatic control (statistical dynamics of systems of automatic control). The latest methods of investigating the accuracy of systems of automatic controls, operating under the influence of arbitrary random disturbances, both stationary and nonstationary, are set forth. Methods for investigating the accuracy are provided not only for unidimensional but also for multidimensional systems having any arbitrary number of inputs and outputs. A considerable portion of the book is devoted to methods for investigating the accuracy of nonlinear systems. Special attention is given to modern methods of determining the optimum characteristics of systems of automatic control (methods of statistical synthesis of systems of automatic control), based on the general theory of approximation of random functions. The theory of random functions and the probability methods of the theory of automatic control are set forth in this book chiefly on the basis of the author's own work. (Author)
