TitleMayne, David Quinn: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1980
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationProfessor Mayne is distinguished for his contributions to the theory of control, and to computational techniques for solving control problems. He pioneered a number of techniques in identification, including the use of Kalman filters for identification, the use of 'instrumental variables', canonical forms for identification, and the use of auto-regressive models. In systems theory, Mayne developed computational methods for minimal realisations, and contributed to an extension of the Weierstrass excess-function theorem. His best known work is the development of computer algorithms for the optimisation of stochastic and deterministic systems, with proofs of existence and convergence. He has developed two different approaches to the design of control systems, and has implemented these as interactive computing methods. In addition he has made a number of contributions to finite-dimensional optimisation, and has participated in a range of projects in which his own and other methods have been used to solve industrial problems of control.
