Download or read book Iterative Learning Control with Passive Incomplete Information written by Dong Shen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an in-depth discussion of iterative learning control (ILC) with passive incomplete information, highlighting the incomplete input and output data resulting from practical factors such as data dropout, transmission disorder, communication delay, etc.—a cutting-edge topic in connection with the practical applications of ILC. It describes in detail three data dropout models: the random sequence model, Bernoulli variable model, and Markov chain model—for both linear and nonlinear stochastic systems. Further, it proposes and analyzes two major compensation algorithms for the incomplete data, namely, the intermittent update algorithm and successive update algorithm. Incomplete information environments include random data dropout, random communication delay, random iteration-varying lengths, and other communication constraints. With numerous intuitive figures to make the content more accessible, the book explores several potential solutions to this topic, ensuring that readers are not only introduced to the latest advances in ILC for systems with random factors, but also gain an in-depth understanding of the intrinsic relationship between incomplete information environments and essential tracking performance. It is a valuable resource for academics and engineers, as well as graduate students who are interested in learning about control, data-driven control, networked control systems, and related fields.

Download or read book Stochastic Controls written by Jiongmin Yong and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-06-22 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As is well known, Pontryagin's maximum principle and Bellman's dynamic programming are the two principal and most commonly used approaches in solving stochastic optimal control problems. * An interesting phenomenon one can observe from the literature is that these two approaches have been developed separately and independently. Since both methods are used to investigate the same problems, a natural question one will ask is the fol lowing: (Q) What is the relationship betwccn the maximum principlc and dy namic programming in stochastic optimal controls? There did exist some researches (prior to the 1980s) on the relationship between these two. Nevertheless, the results usually werestated in heuristic terms and proved under rather restrictive assumptions, which were not satisfied in most cases. In the statement of a Pontryagin-type maximum principle there is an adjoint equation, which is an ordinary differential equation (ODE) in the (finite-dimensional) deterministic case and a stochastic differential equation (SDE) in the stochastic case. The system consisting of the adjoint equa tion, the original state equation, and the maximum condition is referred to as an (extended) Hamiltonian system. On the other hand, in Bellman's dynamic programming, there is a partial differential equation (PDE), of first order in the (finite-dimensional) deterministic case and of second or der in the stochastic case. This is known as a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation.
Download or read book Handbook of Mathematical Models and Algorithms in Computer Vision and Imaging written by Ke Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 1981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook gathers together the state of the art on mathematical models and algorithms for imaging and vision. Its emphasis lies on rigorous mathematical methods, which represent the optimal solutions to a class of imaging and vision problems, and on effective algorithms, which are necessary for the methods to be translated to practical use in various applications. Viewing discrete images as data sampled from functional surfaces enables the use of advanced tools from calculus, functions and calculus of variations, and nonlinear optimization, and provides the basis of high-resolution imaging through geometry and variational models. Besides, optimization naturally connects traditional model-driven approaches to the emerging data-driven approaches of machine and deep learning. No other framework can provide comparable accuracy and precision to imaging and vision. Written by leading researchers in imaging and vision, the chapters in this handbook all start with gentle introductions, which make this work accessible to graduate students. For newcomers to the field, the book provides a comprehensive and fast-track introduction to the content, to save time and get on with tackling new and emerging challenges. For researchers, exposure to the state of the art of research works leads to an overall view of the entire field so as to guide new research directions and avoid pitfalls in moving the field forward and looking into the next decades of imaging and information services. This work can greatly benefit graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in imaging and vision; applied mathematicians; medical imagers; engineers; and computer scientists.
