On Some Aspects of the Dual Control Theory.
Abstract
The thesis concerns itself with some aspects of the dual control theory, i.e. the problem of simultaneously identifying and controlling a partially unknown system as defined by A. A. Fel'dbaum. The property that, in some cases, the rate learning about the unknown aspects of the system may be independent of the inputs into the system had been noticed by Fel'dbaum in connection with a specific simple problem. He called such a system neutral. In this work the concept of neutrality is extended and shown to be of fundamental importance in treating certain classes of problems of identification and control.
