Optimal Filtering

Abstract: Estimation theory has had a tremendous impact on many problem areas over the past two decades. Beginning with its original use in the aerospace industry, its applications can now be found in many different areas such as control and communjcations, power systems, transportation systems, bioengineering, image processing, etc. Along with linear system theory and optimal control, a course in estimation theorycan be found in the graduate system and control curriculum,of most schools in the country. In fact, it is probably one of the most,salable courses as far as employment is concerned. However, despite its economic value and the amount of activities in the field, very few books on estimation theory have appeared recently. This book helps to fill the void in the market and does that in a superb manner. Although the book is called OptimalFiltering, the coverage is restricted to discrete time filtering. A more appropriate title would thus be Optimal Discrete Time ,Filtering. The authors’ decision to concentrate on discrete time f lters is due to “recent technological developments as well as the easier path offered students and instructors.” This is probably a wise move since a thorough treatment of continuous time filtering will require a better knowledge o f stochastic processes than most graduate students or engineers will have. As it stands now, the text requires little background beyond that of linear system theory and probability theory. Written by active researchers, in the area, the book covers the standard topics such as Kalman filtering, innovations processes, smoothing, and adaptive and nonlinear estimation. Much of the material in the book has been around for a long time and has been widely used, by practitioners in the area: Some results are more recent. However,-it .has been difficult to locate all of them presented in a n organized manner within a single text. This is especially true of the chapters dealing with the computation aspects and nonlinear and adaptive estimation. After a short introductory chapter, Chapter 2 introduces the mathematical model to be used throughout most of the book. The discrete time Kalman filter is 1 hen presented in Chapter 3, along with some applications. Chapter 4 contains a treatment

Optimal Control: Linear Quadratic Methods

Abstract: This augmented edition of a respected text teaches the reader how to use linear quadratic Gaussian methods effectively for the design of control systems. It explores linear optimal control theory from an engineering viewpoint, with step-by-step explanations that show clearly how to make practical use of the material. The three-part treatment begins with the basic theory of the linear regulator/tracker for time-invariant and time-varying systems. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is introduced using the Principle of Optimality, and the infinite-time problem is considered. The second part outlines the engineering properties of the regulator. Topics include degree of stability, phase and gain margin, tolerance of time delay, effect of nonlinearities, asymptotic properties, and various sensitivity problems. The third section explores state estimation and robust controller design using state-estimate feedback. Numerous examples emphasize the issues related to consistent and accurate system design. Key topics include loop-recovery techniques, frequency shaping, and controller reduction, for both scalar and multivariable systems. Self-contained appendixes cover matrix theory, linear systems, the Pontryagin minimum principle, Lyapunov stability, and the Riccati equation. Newly added to this Dover edition is a complete solutions manual for the problems appearing at the conclusion of each section.

A Theory of Network Localization

Abstract: In this paper, we provide a theoretical foundation for the problem of network localization in which some nodes know their locations and other nodes determine their locations by measuring the distances to their neighbors. We construct grounded graphs to model network localization and apply graph rigidity theory to test the conditions for unique localizability and to construct uniquely localizable networks. We further study the computational complexity of network localization and investigate a subclass of grounded graphs where localization can be computed efficiently. We conclude with a discussion of localization in sensor networks where the sensors are placed randomly

Consensus and Cooperation in Networked Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract: This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An overview of basic concepts of information consensus in networks and methods of convergence and performance analysis for the algorithms are provided. Our analysis framework is based on tools from matrix theory, algebraic graph theory, and control theory. We discuss the connections between consensus problems in networked dynamic systems and diverse applications including synchronization of coupled oscillators, flocking, formation control, fast consensus in small-world networks, Markov processes and gossip-based algorithms, load balancing in networks, rendezvous in space, distributed sensor fusion in sensor networks, and belief propagation. We establish direct connections between spectral and structural properties of complex networks and the speed of information diffusion of consensus algorithms. A brief introduction is provided on networked systems with nonlocal information flow that are considerably faster than distributed systems with lattice-type nearest neighbor interactions. Simulation results are presented that demonstrate the role of small-world effects on the speed of consensus algorithms and cooperative control of multivehicle formations

Factor graphs and the sum-product algorithm

Abstract: Algorithms that must deal with complicated global functions of many variables often exploit the manner in which the given functions factor as a product of "local" functions, each of which depends on a subset of the variables. Such a factorization can be visualized with a bipartite graph that we call a factor graph, In this tutorial paper, we present a generic message-passing algorithm, the sum-product algorithm, that operates in a factor graph. Following a single, simple computational rule, the sum-product algorithm computes-either exactly or approximately-various marginal functions derived from the global function. A wide variety of algorithms developed in artificial intelligence, signal processing, and digital communications can be derived as specific instances of the sum-product algorithm, including the forward/backward algorithm, the Viterbi algorithm, the iterative "turbo" decoding algorithm, Pearl's (1988) belief propagation algorithm for Bayesian networks, the Kalman filter, and certain fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms.

Planning Algorithms: Introductory Material

Abstract: Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world, including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace applications, drug design, and protein folding. This coherent and comprehensive book unifies material from several sources, including robotics, control theory, artificial intelligence, and algorithms. The treatment is centered on robot motion planning but integrates material on planning in discrete spaces. A major part of the book is devoted to planning under uncertainty, including decision theory, Markov decision processes, and information spaces, which are the “configuration spaces” of all sensor-based planning problems. The last part of the book delves into planning under differential constraints that arise when automating the motions of virtually any mechanical system. Developed from courses taught by the author, the book is intended for students, engineers, and researchers in robotics, artificial intelligence, and control theory as well as computer graphics, algorithms, and computational biology.
