“This book is a research monograph, the authors make it be readable for graduate students of control theory. One only need some basic knowledge of stochastic process and control system theory to read it. I believe both beginners and experts can benefit from reading this book.” (Lu Qi, zbMATH 1428.93003, 2020)
