Finite-State Control of Uncertain Systems.

Abstract

An ambiguous process is defined as a closed, convex set of stochastic processes which fulfills certain properties. In the context of computer control, ambiguous processes can be used as simplified models for the complex interaction of a nonlinear computer controller and continuous plant with uncertain dynamics. Using this simplified model, and applying results on worst-case optimality in ambiguous processes, the feedback system can be better understood and definite performance bounds can be calculated.
