Comments on "Use of Stochastic Automata for Parameter Self-Optimization with Multimodal Performance Criteria"

Abstract: In the above paper,1 an optimal method of self-optimization of certain system parameters using noisy binary-valued performance feedback is extended, without losing optimality, to situations with many-valued performance feedback. The effect of time-varying feedback mechanisms is briefly considered.

An Identification Procedure for Discrete Linear Multivariable Systems.

Abstract: : In the paper, the direct method of Lyapunov is employed to outline a procedure for the identification of a discrete multivariable system from the measurements on the inputs and the state variables of the system It is assumed that all the state variables of the plant are accessible and that there is no measurement noise The procedure results in the convergence of every parameter of a model to the corresponding one of the system as the number of stages k nears infinity The overall process is also shown to be asymptotically stable (Author)
