This second edition of the popular text by John Betts incorporates lots of new material while maintaining the concise and focused presentation of the original edition. The book describes how sparse optimization methods can be combined with discretization techniques for differential-algebraic equations and used to solve optimal control and estimation problems. The interaction between optimization and integration is emphasized throughout the book. Practical Methods for Optimal Control and Estimation Using Nonlinear Programming, Second Edition includes presentation of relevant background in no

Describes the use of optimal control and estimation in the design of robots, controlled mechanisms, and navigation and guidance systems. Covers control theory specifically for students with minimal background in probability theory. Presents optimal estimation theory as a tutorial with a direct, well-organized approach and a parallel treatment of discrete and continuous time systems. Gives practical examples and computer simulations. Provides enough mathematical rigor to put results on a firm foundation without an overwhelming amount of proofs and theorems.

This book provides an introductory, yet comprehensive, treatment of both Wiener and Kalman filtering, along with a development of least-squares estimation, maximum likelihood estimation, and maximum a posteriori estimation based on discrete-time measurements. A good deal of emphasis is placed in the text on showing how these different approaches to estimation fit together to form a systematic development of optimal estimation. Included in the text is a chapter on nonlinear filtering, focusing on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and a new measurement update that uses the Levenburg-Marquardt alg

Splines, both interpolatory and smoothing, have a long and rich history that has largely been application driven. This book unifies these constructions in a comprehensive and accessible way, drawing from the latest methods and applications to show how they arise naturally in the theory of linear control systems. Magnus Egerstedt and Clyde Martin are leading innovators in the use of control theoretic splines to bring together many diverse applications within a common framework. In this book, they begin with a series of problems ranging from path planning to statistics to approximation. Using th
