	title = {Efficient Algorithms For Operator Riccati Equations And Applications To Distributed Parameter Systems},
	author = {Baras, John S.},
	year = {1977},
	month = {09/1977},
	abstract = {Filtering and quadratic optimal control problems for linear distributed parameter~ systems lead to an operator Riccati equation. The applicability of the theoretical~results is severely hindered by the task of solving this operator Riccati equation.~The new Chandrasekhar type algorithms hold promise for significant reduction in~the computational complexity of these problems. In this paper we study the~operator Riccati equation with time varying operators, and derive various alternatives for the solution. As a result we: l) rigorously establish the Chandrasekhar~type algorithms for Linear Tirne Varying Distributed Systems; 2) rigorously~ e stablish the proper generalization of the partitioning algorithms for lumped~systems of Lainiotis and Reid, to distributed systems. In addition the computational savings implied by these algorithms is discussed and their applicability~and effectiveness is demonstrated by explicit examples for various distributed parameter systems.},

	abstract = {The basic problem addressed in this paper is the development of better software for the computer control of urban traffic. Previous research indicates that the computer software, and especially the filtering and prediction algorithm, is the limiting factor in computerized traffic control. Recently developed techniques for the filtering, prediction~and control of point processes, the type of statistics that occur in traffic flow, are used to develop filtering and prediction algorithms to facilitate the development of traffic responsive urban traffic control systems.},

	year = {1977},
	month = {01/1977},
	abstract = {In this paper we present examples of stochastic partial differential equations of the "multiplicative noise type" arising from laser communication problems. The basic origins and generic structure of these equations are described and their relation to general quantum estimation and filtering theory explained. The major part for the paper is devoted to explicitly analyze certain examples arising from practical applications and to provide exact or approximate solutions with the help of the underlying physical theories. Directions from future theoretical work are discussed.},
