Control theory is a field of control engineering and applied mathematics that deals with the control of dynamical systems in engineered processes and machines...

In control theory, affect control theory proposes that individuals maintain affective meanings through their actions and interpretations of events. The...

The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input closes the nerve "gates" to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling...

criminology, social control theory proposes that exploiting the process of socialization and social learning builds self-control and reduces the inclination...

Control theory in sociology is the idea that two control systems—inner controls and outer controls—work against our tendencies to deviate. Control theory...

from—the Hamiltonian of classical mechanics, the Hamiltonian of optimal control theory was developed by Lev Pontryagin as part of his maximum principle. Pontryagin...

Perceptual control theory (PCT) is a model of behavior based on the properties of negative feedback control loops. A control loop maintains a sensed variable...

Optimal control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with finding a control for a dynamical system over a period of time such that an objective...

A plant in control theory is the combination of process and actuator. A plant is often referred to with a transfer function (commonly in the s-domain)...

Classical control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how their behavior is modified...
