First full study of the life and career of the Glaswegian minister Robert Baillie, establishing his significance and influence. From 1637 to 1660, the Scots witnessed rapid and confused changes in government and violent skirmishing, whilst impassioned religious disputes divided neighbours, friends and family. One of the most vivid accounts of this period may be found in the letters of the Glaswegian minister, Robert Baillie; but whilst his correspondence has long featured in historical accounts of the period, the man behind these writings has largely been forgotten. This biography draws together for the first time an analysis of Baillie's career and writings, establishing his significance as a polemicist, minister, theologian, and contemporary historian. It is based on the first, systematic reading ofBaillie's extensive surviving manuscripts, comprising thousands of leaves of correspondence, treatises, sermons, and notebooks. Chapters address Baillie's writings on monarchy, church government, Reformed theology, liturgical change, Biblical scholarship, and Baillie's practice of record-keeping. Overall, the book challenges prevalent understandings of the intellectual landscape of Covenanted Scotland, situating Baillie and his contemporaries on the peripheries of a dynamic, European Republic of Letters. Alexander D. Campbell is Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Post-Doctoral Fellow, Queen's University, Canada.

All Alexander's Women: (updated 2018)

All Alexander's Women: (updated 2018)

In Alexander's life story, the classical sources mention some 30-odd women whose presence had a (minor or major) impact on his career. However, only his mother Olympias is amply described -always to negative effect-, while the others appear in fleeting anecdotes. This betrays the bias of Greek and Roman writers, unwilling to see women in an independent and positive role. But in 'All Alexander's Women', they are all placed in perspective, and their true importance is revealed. The most decisive is Sisygambis, queen-mother of Persia. Her relationship with the young conqueror proves that they came to share a dream: a new world empire that would combine the genius of Cyrus the Great nd of Alexander the Great. That multi-cultural society would have advanced women's rights by 2,000 years, and the author has found that Persia's historical memory still retains this often forgotten aspect of Alexander's rule. In this expanded edition, 'Alexander's women' are explained not only in the context of the Western (Greek and Roman) sources, but also as they are portrayed in the classical Eastern -and especially, Persian- literature. After all, it was during his adult years in the domains of the former Achaemenid Empire, where Alexander evolved from young warrior hero to accomplished statesman: Persia was essential to his worldview. And so all the 'women of Alexander', from his adoptive mothers to a mysterious soothsayer, and from a Greek sex bomb to a valiant Indian queen, are the fascinating guiding lights of this book.

Turnpike Theory for the Robinson–Solow–Srinivasan Model

Turnpike Theory for the Robinson–Solow–Srinivasan Model

Alexander J. Zaslavski

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This book is devoted to the study of a class of optimal control problems arising in mathematical economics, related to the Robinson–Solow–Srinivasan (RSS) model. It will be useful for researches interested in the turnpike theory, infinite horizon optimal control and their applications, and mathematical economists. The RSS is a well-known model of economic dynamics that was introduced in the 1960s and as many other models of economic dynamics, the RSS model is determined by an objective function (a utility function) and a set-valued mapping (a technology map). The set-valued map generates a dynamical system whose trajectories are under consideration and the objective function determines an optimality criterion. The goal is to find optimal trajectories of the dynamical system, using the optimality criterion. Chapter 1 discusses turnpike properties for some classes of discrete time optimal control problems. Chapter 2 present the description of the RSS model and discuss its basic properties. Infinite horizon optimal control problems, related to the RSS model are studied in Chapter 3. Turnpike properties for the RSS model are analyzed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 studies infinite horizon optimal control problems related to the RSS model with a nonconcave utility function. Chapter 6 focuses on infinite horizon optimal control problems with nonautonomous optimality criterions. Chapter 7 contains turnpike results for a class of discrete-time optimal control problems. Chapter 8 discusses the RSS model and compares different optimality criterions. Chapter 9 is devoted to the study of the turnpike properties for the RSS model. In Chapter 10 the one-dimensional autonomous RSS model is considered and the continuous time RSS model is studied in Chapter 11.

Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control

Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control

Alexander Poznyak; Polyakov Andrey; Azhmyakov Vadim

Birkhauser Verlag AG
2014
sidottu
This monograph introduces a newly developed robust-control design technique for a wide class of continuous-time dynamical systems called the “attractive ellipsoid method.” Along with a coherent introduction to the proposed control design and related topics, the monograph studies nonlinear affine control systems in the presence of uncertainty and presents a constructive and easily implementable control strategy that guarantees certain stability properties. The authors discuss linear-style feedback control synthesis in the context of the above-mentioned systems. The development and physical implementation of high-performance robust-feedback controllers that work in the absence of complete information is addressed, with numerous examples to illustrate how to apply the attractive ellipsoid method to mechanical and electromechanical systems. While theorems are proved systematically, the emphasis is on understanding and applying the theory to real-world situations. Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students with a background in modern systems theory as well as researchers in the fields of control engineering and applied mathematics.
