Theory of Filtering and Control with Application to Control of Large Space Structures.
Abstract
This report summarizes accomplishments under a grant to study modeling. Identification, and control of flexible structures and to study random fields with applications to laser beam distortion in a turbulent field. Research in flexible structures focused on deriving continuum models base upon partial differential equations and derived methods for the solution of the resulting boundary control problems. A robust controller for stabilization based upon the abstract Hilbert-space semigroup formulation was derived as was a stochastic control theory for partial differential equations. A white noise theory for random fields was derived which has applications to laser beam propagation in the atmosphere; in particular, it is used to model the turbulent field.
