Stochastic Control and Filtering over Constrained Communication Networks (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control)

• recursive Riccati equations;
  
• matrix decomposition;
  
• optimal estimation theory; and
  
• mathematical optimization methods.
  

Readers will benefit from the book’s new concepts, models and methodologies that have practical significance in control engineering and signal processing. Stochastic Control and Filtering over Constrained Communication Networks is a practical research reference for engineers dealing with networked control and filtering problems. It is also of interest to academics and students working in control and communication networks.
