CAINES http://bookstore.siam.org/cl77/ 2018 / xviii + 874 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-70-6 / List Price $89.00 / SIAM Member Price $62.30 / Order Code CL77 Keywords: stochastic systems, linear systems, control theory, filtering and state estimation, system identification, adaptive control, optimal control Linear Stochastic Systems, originally published in 1988, is today as comprehensive a reference to the theory of linear discrete-time- parameter systems as ever. Its most outstanding feature is the unified presentation, including both input-output and state space representations of stochastic linear systems, together with their interrelationships. The author first covers the foundations of linear stochastic systems and then continues through to more sophisticated topics including the fundamentals of stochastic processes and the construction of stochastic systems; an integrated exposition of the theories of prediction, realization (modeling), parameter estimation, and control; and a presentation of stochastic adaptive control theory. Written in a clear, concise manner and accessible to graduate students, researchers, and teachers, this classic volume also includes background material to make it self-contained and has complete proofs for all the principal results of the book. Furthermore, this edition includes many corrections of errata collected over the years. Audience: This book is written for graduate students, teachers, and research workers in the areas of systems and control theory and its application, probability and statistics, time-series analysis, econometrics, and related areas. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jens-Dominik Mueller [log in to unmask] Date: July 05, 2018 Subject: Summer School, Gradient-based Optimisation, Adjoint methods, AD, UK, Aug 2018 The Special Interest Group Numerical Optimisation in Fluids, under the umbrella of the UK Fluids Network, is organising a Summer School on "An introduction to gradient-based optimisation, adjoint methods and Automatic Differentiation" to be held at Cambridge University, UK, 8-10 August 2018.
