Subject:
The parametric resonance theory and new approaches to the stability theory of nonlinear systems and to the optimization theory were developed. Among the contributions there are the quadratic criterion for absolute stabi lity, "Frequency theorem", the method of "recursive aim inequalities" in adaptive control and an abstract theory of optimal control, extending the Pontrjagin maximum principle to many new cases. Lemma Kalman-Yakubovich permits to connect two methods of control theory: frequency method and Liapu nov method. It is also of importance in stochastic realization theory. These theoretic investigations finds an application in many applied problems including robotic, mechanical engineering and electric energetics. The main results in recent years concern new aspects of linear-quadratic optimization problems.
