Description
Springer Control Theory In Physics And Other Fields Of Science Concepts Tools And Applications 2006 Edition by Michael Schulz
This book provides an introduction to the analysis and the control mechanism of physical chemical biological technological and economic models and their nonequilibrium evolution dynamics. Strong emphasis is placed on the foundation of variational principles evolution and control equations numerical methods statistical concepts and techniques for solving or estimation of stochastic control problems for systems with a high degree of complexity. In particular the central aim of this book is developing a synergetic connection between theoretical concepts and real applications. This book is a modern introduction and a helpful tool for researchers as well as for graduate students interested in econophysics and related topics. Table of contents : Introduction.- Deterministic Control Theory.- Linear Quadratic Problems.- Control of Fields.- Chaos Control.- Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics.- Optimal Control of Stochastic Processes.- Filters and Predictors.- Game Theory.- Optimization Problems.
