Special Issue "Algorithms for Reliable Estimation, Identification and Control II"

Dear Colleagues,

The optimization of feedforward and feedback controllers with respect to predefined performance criteria is mainly studied. In particular, the enhancement and verification of their robustness concerning external disturbances and uncertain parameters are widespread aspects of current research activities. The same holds for the reliable estimation of non-measurable system states and the identification of parameters based on uncertain measurements. Possible applications of related optimization algorithms can be found not only in the frame of a control and estimator synthesis, but also in the field of reliable modeling and model-based analysis of measured data.

This Special Issue is a platform for the publication of novel algorithms in the frame of reliable and optimal estimation and control. Moreover, application-oriented aspects highlighting the practical applicability of theoretical approaches are highly welcome.

Possible topics of interest include the following:

• Optimal and robust control of finite-dimensional systems;
• Optimization and robustness analysis for partial differential equations;
• Representation of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty by means of the following:

* Interval analysis; and

* Stochastic modeling procedures;

• Structural optimization of controllers and state observers;
• Parameter optimization and identification;
• Stability analysis
