A Kalman Filter Primer System state estimation in the presence of noise is critical for control systems signal processing and many other applications in a variety of fields. Developed decades ago the Kalman filter remains an important powerful tool for estimating the variables in a system in the presence of noise. However when inundated with theory and vast notations learning just how the Kalman filter works can be a daunting task. With its mathematically rigorous “no frills” approach to the basic discrete-time Kalman filter A Kalman Filter Primer builds a thorough understanding of the inner workings and basic concepts of Kalman filter recursions from first principles. Instead of the typical Bayesian perspective the author develops the topic via least-squares and classical matrix methods using the Cholesky decomposition to distill the essence of the Kalman filter and reveal the motivations behind the choice of the initializing state vector. He supplies pseudo-code algorithms for the various recursions enabling code development to implement the filter in practice. The book thoroughly studies the development of modern smoothing algorithms and methods for determining initial states along with a comprehensive development of the “diffuse” Kalman filter. Using a tiered presentation that builds on simple discussions to more complex and thorough treatments A Kalman Filter Primer is the perfect introduction to quickly and effectively using the Kalman filter in practice.

Mathematical Modeling using Fuzzy Logic Applications to Sustainability Mathematical Modeling using Fuzzy Logic has been a dream project for the author. Fuzzy logic provides a unique method of approximate reasoning in an imperfect world. This text is a bridge to the principles of fuzzy logic through an application-focused approach to selected topics in engineering and management. The many examples point to the richer solutions obtained through fuzzy logic and to the possibilities of much wider applications. There are relatively very few texts available at present in fuzzy logic applications. The style and content of this text is complementary to those already available. New areas of application like application of fuzzy logic in modeling of sustainability are presented in a graded approach in which the underlying concepts are first described. The text is broadly divided into two parts: the first treats processes materials and system applications related to fuzzy logic and the second delves into the modeling of sustainability with the help of fuzzy logic. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics including: Treating processes materials system applications related to fuzzy logic Highlighting new areas of application of fuzzy logic Identifying possibilities of much wider applications of fuzzy logic Modeling of sustainability with the help of fuzzy logic The level enables a selection of the text to be made for the substance of undergraduate- graduate- and postgraduate-level courses. There is also sufficient volume and quality for the basis of a postgraduate course. A more restricted and judicious selection can provide the material for a professional short course and various university-level courses. | Mathematical Modeling using Fuzzy Logic Applications to Sustainability GBP 105.00 1

Featuring contributions from leading international experts the book contains sixteen self-contained chapters that analyze the challenges in developing trustworthy CPS and identify important issues in developing engineering methods for CPS. The book addresses various issues contributing to trustworthiness complemented by contributions on TCSP roadmapping taxonomy and standardization as well as experience in deploying advanced system engineering methods in industry.

Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques describes stochastic models and their analysis using the System Point Level Crossing method (abbreviated SPLC or LC). This involves deriving probability density functions (pdfs) or cumulative probability distribution functions (cdfs) of key random variables applying simple level-crossing limit theorems developed by the author. The pdfs and/or cdfs are used to specify operational characteristics about the stochastic model of interest. The chapters describe distinct stochastic models and associated key random variables in the models. For each model a figure of a typical sample path (realization i. e. tracing over time) of the key random variable is displayed. For each model an analytic (Volterra) integral equation for the stationary pdf of the key random variable is created−by inspection of the sample path using the simple LC limit theorems. This LC method bypasses a great deal of algebra usually required by other methods of analysis. The integral equations will be solved directly or computationally. This book is meant for students of mathematics management science engineering natural sciences and researchers who use applied probability. It will also be useful to technical workers in a range of professions. Key Features: A description of one representative stochastic model (e. g. a single-server M/G/1 queue; a multiple server M/M/c queue; an inventory system; etc. ) Construction of a typical sample path of the key random variable of interest (e. g. the virtual waiting time or workload in queues; the net on-hand inventory in inventory systems; etc. ) Statements of the simple LC theorems which connect the sample-path upcrossing and downcrossing rates across state-space levels to simple mathematical functions of the stationary pdf of the key random variable at those state-space levels Creation of (usually Volterra) integral equations for the stationary pdf of the key random variable by inspection of the sample path Direct analytic solution of the integral equations where feasible; or computational solutions of the integral equations Use of the derived stationary pdfs for obtaining operational characteristics of the model GBP 120.00 1
