Estimation and Identification for Modeling Dynamic Systems.

Abstract

Systems are modeled in order to understand and explain them better and as a prelude to action. Aircraft dynamics, for example, may be identified so that better designs can be made, or so that adaptive control actions can be taken. Our attention in this continuing study has been directed at aspects of estimation and identification that are connected with system understanding. This study has been aimed at state estimation and parameter identification for a new class of models, causal functional equations, which describe wave propagation in layered media systems. These models are applicable to diverse areas, such a reflection seismology, transmission lines, speech processing, optical thin coatings and EM problems. (Author)
