{"product_id":"classic-papers-in-control-theory-richard-bellman-9780486818566","title":"Classic Papers in Control Theory","description":"This collection of historically and technically important papers follows a logical line of development from early work in mathematical control theory to studies in adaptive control processes. The book touches upon all the major themes: stability theory, feedback control, time lag, prediction theory, dynamic programming, bang-bang control, and maximum principles. \u003cbr\u003eThe book opens with J. C. Maxwell's On Governors and continues with The Control of an Elastic Fluid by H. Bateman; an essay by editors Bellman and Kalaba, The Work of Lyapunov and Poincaré; Hurwitz's On the Conditions Under Which an Equation Has Only Roots With Negative Real Parts; Nyquist's Regeneration Theory; Feedback -- The History of an Idea by H. W. Bode; a paper on forced oscillations in a circuit by B. van der Pol; Self-excited Oscillations in Dynamical Systems Possessing Retarded Action by N. Minorsky; An Extension of Wiener's Theory of Prediction by Zadeh and Ragazzini; Time Optimal Control Systems by J. P. LaSalle; On the Theory of Optimal Processes by Boltyanskii, Gamkrelidze, and Pontryagin; Bellman's On the Application of the Theory of Dynamic Programming to the Study of Control Processes; and the editors' study Dynamic Programming and Adaptive Processes: Mathematical Foundation. Each paper is introduced with a brief account of its significance and with some suggestions for further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Bellman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 048681856X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486818566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Richard Bellman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988169982207,"sku":"9780486818566","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4723a3bb-879a-418c-9e47-8a1d772c8e84.jpg?v=1683293022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classic-papers-in-control-theory-richard-bellman-9780486818566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
