Deterministic and Stochastic Time-Delay Systems

Most practical processes such as chemical reactor, industrial furnace, heat exchanger, etc., are nonlinear stochastic systems, which makes their con­ trol in general a hard problem. Currently, there is no successful design method for this class of systems in the literature. One common alterna­ tive consists of linearizing the nonlinear dynamical stochastic system in the neighborhood of an operatin...
