Polynomial Methods in Optimal Control and Filtering

Provides a broad coverage of the polynomial equation approach in a range of linear control and filtering problems. The principal feature of this approach is the description of systems in fractional form using transfer functions. Chapter subjects include the algebraic approach to control system design, LQ controller design and self-tuning control, optimal filtering problems, many-dimensional polynomial equations, and j-spectral factoralization.
