ABSTRACT Rudolph E. Kalman is mainly known for the Kalman filter, first published in 1960. In this year, he published two equally important contributions, one about linear state space system theory and the other about linear quadratic optimal control theory. These three domains are intertwined in the later theory of linear quadratic Gaussian control. An extended version of linear quadratic optimal control is put into practice in an example of cooperation in population ecology.

卡尔曼 1960：现代系统理论的诞生

摘要 Rudolph E. Kalman 主要以 1960 年首次发表的卡尔曼滤波器而闻名。这一年他发表了两个同样重要的贡献，一个关于线性状态空间系统理论，另一个关于线性二次最优控制理论。这三个域在后来的线性二次高斯控制理论中交织在一起。一个扩展版的线性二次最优控制在一个群体生态合作的例子中被付诸实践。
