CRC Press Performance Analysis and Synthesis for Discrete-Time Stochastic Systems with Network-Enhanced Complexities

The book addresses the system performance with a focus on the network-enhanced complexities and developing the engineering-oriented design framework of controllers and filters with potential applications in system sciences, control engineering and signal processing areas. Therefore, it provides a unified treatment on the analysis and synthesis for discrete-time stochastic systems with guarantee of certain performances against network-enhanced complexities with applications in sensor networks and mobile robotics. Such a result will be of great importance in the development of novel control and filtering theories including industrial impact.Key FeaturesProvides original methodologies and emerging concepts to deal with latest issues in the control and filtering with an emphasis on a variety of network-enhanced complexitiesGives results of stochastic control and filtering distributed control and filtering, and security control of complex networked systemsCaptures the essence of performance analysis and synthesis for stochastic control and filteringConcepts and performance indexes proposed reflect the requirements of engineering practiceMethodologies developed in this book include backward recursive Riccati difference equation approach and the discrete-time version of input-to-state stability in probability About the Author Derui Ding received both the B.Sc. degree in Industry Engineering in 2004 and the M.Sc. degree in Detection Technology and Automation Equipment in 2007 from Anhui Polytechnic University, Wuhu, China, and the Ph.D. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering in 2014 from Donghua University, Shanghai, China.
