International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 89: Applied Methods of the Theory of Random Functions presents methods of random functions analysis with their applications in various branches of technology, such as in the theory of ships, automatic regulation and control, and radio engineering. This book discusses the general properties of random functions, spectral theory of stationary random functions, and determination of optimal dynamical systems. The experimental methods for the determination of characteristics of random functions, method of envelopes, and some supplementary problems of the theory of random functions are also deliberated. This publication is intended for engineers and scientists who use the methods of the theory of probability in various branches of technology.
