Optimal design of control systems

the long version

"This reference/text covers design methods for optimal (or quasioptimal) control algorithms in the form of synthesis for deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems - with applications to biological, radio engineering, mechanical, and servomechanical technologies."--BOOK JACKET. "Containing over 1700 equations, drawings, and bibliographic citations, this up-to-the-minute reference is a must-read resource for applied mathematicians; analysts; control, automation, electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineers; physicists; and biologists; and a superb text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
