Title
Error-correcting codes for automatic control
Abstract
In many control-theory applications one can classify all po ssible states of the device by an infinite state graph with polynomially-growing expansion. In orderfor a controller to control or estimate the state of such a device, it must receive reliable communicati ons from its sensors; if there is channel noise, the encoding task is subject to a stringent real-time constr aint. We show a constructive on-line error correcting code that works for this class of applications. O ur code is is computationally efficient and enables on-line estimation and control in the presence of ch annel noise. It establishes a constructive (and optimal-within-constants) analog, for control appli cations, of the Shannon coding theorem.
