Time Varying Discrete Linear Systems

Time-Varying Discrete Linear Systems

Discrete-time systems arise as a matter of course in modelling biological or economic processes. For systems and control theory they are of major importance, particularly in connection with digital control applications. If sampling is performed in order to control periodic processes, almost periodic systems are obtained. This is a strong motivation to investigate the discrete-time systems with time-varying coefficients. This research monograph contains a study of discrete-time nodes, the discrete counterpart of the theory elaborated by Bart, Gohberg and Kaashoek for the continuous case, discrete-time Lyapunov and Riccati equations, discrete-time Hamiltonian systems in connection with input-output operators and associated Hankel and Toeplitz operators. All these tools aim to solve the problems of stabilization and attenuation of disturbances in the framework of H2- and H-control theory. The book is the first of its kind to be devoted to these topics and consists mainly of original, recently obtained results.

Time-Variant Systems and Interpolation

Six papers deal with interrelated problems of modern operator theory, complex analysis, and system theory at a level accessible to advanced mathematicians and engineers. They provide a cross-section of recent advances in the understanding of the theory of time-varying systems and time-varying of analogues of interpolation problems. No index.
