Adaptive control processes are discussed in this work by Richard Bellman of the RAND Corporation, published in 1961 by Princeton University Press. The book provides an overview of adaptive control, a field that focuses on systems capable of adjusting their behavior in response to changes in their environment or operating conditions. Bellman's treatment covers the fundamental concepts and principles of adaptive control, including the use of feedback mechanisms, the role of learning in control systems, and the application of adaptive techniques in various engineering and scientific contexts. The book is intended as a guide for those interested in understanding and applying adaptive control methods. It emphasizes the importance of adaptability in control systems, particularly in dynamic environments where traditional control methods may not be sufficient. Bellman's work is significant in the development of control theory and has influenced subsequent research and applications in adaptive systems. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the subject, making it suitable for both students and professionals in the field of engineering and control systems. It highlights the potential of adaptive control to improve system performance, enhance stability, and increase efficiency in a wide range of applications. The publication of this book marked an important step in the advancement of adaptive control theory and its practical implementation.Adaptive control processes are discussed in this work by Richard Bellman of the RAND Corporation, published in 1961 by Princeton University Press.
