TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared I?(a:) to P(a;) for x > 2 and showed that I?[a:] appears to be a better fit than Hasting's approximation [4] for x> 2 and E(x) appeared to be superior to P[a;).
Abstract: _ xexpj-A/2) IV + 6a:4 14a:2 28] a; + 2 \\-x + ox — 20a; — 4 -i and the motivation for such a definition may be found in [2] and [3]. It is readily apparent that EOx) and F(x) have the following properties in common: 1. For x > 2, E(x) is real, positive and finite. 2. For x > 2, dE/dx is real, negative and finite. 3. Asa:-» oo,E(x) -» 0. 4. As x —* oo, x exp ix2/2) Eix) —» 1. 5. As x —> oo, dE/dx —* 0. The following table compares I?(a:) to P(a;). P(a;) is a better fit than Hasting's approximation [4] for x > 2 and E(x) appears to be superior to P(a;). The relative error, e^(a;) is the quantity selected as a basis for comparison and

TL;DR: Stochastic approximation schemes are applied to the identification of linear distributed parameter systems and the constant parameters multiplying the approximating functions are obtained sequentially by stochastic approximation algorithms that minimize a mean-square error performance criterion.
Abstract: Stochastic approximation schemes are applied to the identification of linear distributed parameter systems The dependent function is assumed piecewise continuous and is approximated by a finite number of functions chosen from a "complete" system of orthonormal functions It is also assumed that noisy measurements of the function are available at random points in space and time Therefore, the identification is performed off-line The constant parameters multiplying the approximating functions are obtained sequentially by stochastic approximation algorithms that minimize a mean-square error performance criterion
