Game Theory in Everyday Life
Language: English
Release Date: November 4, 2008
Praised by Entertainment Weekly as the man who put the fizz into physics,” Dr. Len Fisher turns his attention to the science of cooperation in his lively and thought-provoking book. Fisher shows how the modern science of game theory has helped biologists to understand the evolution of cooperation...
Finite Approximations in Discrete-Time Stochastic Control
Quantized Models and Asymptotic Optimality
Language: English
Release Date: May 11, 2018
In a unified form, this monograph presents fundamental results on the approximation of centralized and decentralized stochastic control problems, with uncountable state, measurement, and action spaces. It demonstrates how quantization provides a system-independent and constructive method for the reduction...

Optimal Control of Stochastic Difference Volterra Equations
An Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: November 27, 2014
This book showcases a subclass of hereditary systems, that is, systems with behaviour depending not only on their current state but also on their past history; it is an introduction to the mathematical theory of optimal control for stochastic difference Volterra equations of neutral type. As such,...

With this brief, the authors present algorithms for model-free stabilization of unstable dynamic systems. An extremum-seeking algorithm assigns the role of a cost function to the dynamic system’s control Lyapunov function (clf) aiming at its minimization. The minimization of the clf drives the clf...
Self-Oscillations in Dynamic Systems
A New Methodology via Two-Relay Controllers
Language: English
Release Date: October 1, 2015
This monograph presents a simple and efficient two-relay control algorithm for generation of self-excited oscillations of a desired amplitude and frequency in dynamic systems. Developed by the authors, the two-relay controller consists of two relays switched by the feedback received from a linear...
Event-Triggered Sliding Mode Control
A New Approach to Control System Design
Language: English
Release Date: February 20, 2018
This edited monograph provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of sliding mode control, focusing on event-triggered implementation. The technique allows to prefix the steady-state bounds of the system, and this is independent of any boundary disturbances. The idea of event-triggered SMC is...
Why Society is a Complex Matter
Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science
Language: English
Release Date: June 9, 2012
Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour. As a system made up of many interacting agents – people, groups, institutions and governments, as well as physical and technological...
