Input Signal Synthesis in Identification Problems.

Abstract

The system considered is a scalar input scalar output discrete linear system with Gaussian additive noise on the observations. The identification problem is that of estimating the p-dimensional parameter vector phi from the noisy observations. The input signal synthesis problem is that of determining the input signal the set (u sub i) which will minimize some functional related to the estimation error, subject to an energy constraint on the signal. It is assumed that the system is being operated off-line during the identification procedure, so that the input signal is open to choice. The first part of the dissertation is devoted to the subject of identifiability, i.e. conditions on the system parameters, input, and initial conditions which will insure that information is obtained on all unknown parameters. Conditions are also given for the system to be completely identifiable. (Author)
