Francis J. Doyle Bücher

Originally published in 1927, this book analyses 'the economic position of the small cultivator', based on a survey of small-scale farming in Carmarthenshire.

This book covers recent results in the analysis, identification and control of systems described by Volterra models. Topics covered qualitative behavior of finite Volterra models compared and contrasted with other nonlinear model classes, structural restrictions and extensions to Volterra model class, least squares and stochastic identification approaches, model inversion issues, and direct synthesis and model predictive control design, guidelines for practical applications. Examples are drawn from Chemical, Biological and Electrical Engineering. The book is suitable as a text for a graduate control course, or as a reference for both research and practice.
