Polynomial Methods for Control Systems Design

This monograph was motivated by a very successful workshop held before the 3rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control held at the Buena Vista Hotel, lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. The workshop was held to provide an overview of polynomial system methods in LQG (or H ) and Hoo optimal control and 2 estimation. The speakers at the workshop were chosen to reflect the important contributions polynomial techniques have made to systems theory and also to show the potential benefits which should...
