The Riccati Equation by Sergio Bittanti
Conceived by Count Jacopo Francesco Riccati more than a quarter of a millennium ago, the Riccati equation has been widely studied in the subsequent centuries. Since its introduction in control theory in the sixties, the matrix Riccati equation has known an impressive range of applications, such as optimal control, H? optimization and robust stabilization, stochastic realization, synthesis of linear passive networks, to name but a few. This book consists of 11 chapters surveying the main concepts and results related to the matrix Riccati equation, both in continuous and discrete time. Theory, applications and numerical algorithms are extensively presented in an expository way. As a foreword, the history and prehistory of the Riccati equation is concisely presented.SERGIO BITTANTI is Emeritus Professor of Model Identification and Data Analysis (MIDA) at the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, where his intense activity of research and teaching has attracted the attention of many young researchers.
He started teaching the course of MIDA years ago, with just a few students. Today the course is offered in various sections with about one thousand students.
He has organized a number of workshops and conferences, and has served as member of the Program Committee of more than 70 international congresses.
He has for many years been associated with the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy and is a member of the Academy of Science and Literature of Milan (Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere).
He received many awards, in particular the title of Ambassador of the city of Milan and the medal of the President of the Italian Republic for the IFAC World Congress held in Milan in 2011 with a record number of attendees from 73 Countries.
