Anders Gunnar Lindquist (born 21 November 1942) is a Swedish applied mathematician and control theorist. He has made contributions to the theory of partial realization, stochastic modeling, estimation and control, and moment problems in systems and control. In particular, he is known for the discovery of the fast filtering algorithms for (discrete-time) Kalman filtering in the early 1970s, and his seminal work on the separation principle of stochastic optimal control and, in collaborations with Giorgio Picci, [3] the Geometric Theory for Stochastic Realization. [4] [5] Together with late Christopher I. Byrnes (dean of the School of Engineering & Applied Science at Washington University in St. Louis from 1991 to 2006) and Tryphon T. Georgiou (Vincentine Hermes-Luh Chair in Electrical Engineering at the University of Minnesota), he is one of the founder of the so-called Byrnes-Georgiou-Lindquist school. They pioneered a new moment-based approach for the solution of control and estimation problems with complexity constraints.

He has been Professor in three continents: America (University of Kentucky, USA), Europe (Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) and Asia (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China).

Biography

Lindquist was born in Lund, Sweden. He received his PhD degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm under the supervision of Lars Erik Zachrisson, [6] and was appointed a Docent of Optimization and Systems Theory in 1972. Subsequently, he held visiting positions at the University of Florida, Brown University, and the State University of New York at Albany, until 1974, when he joined the faculty of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. He remained at Kentucky until 1983 at which time he returned to the Royal Institute of Technology as a Professor and the Chair of Optimization and Systems Theory.

Over the years, Lindquist has held visiting and affiliate positions at the Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Padova, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Arizona State University, the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna, the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, East China Normal University in Shanghai, the Technion in Haifa, the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Kyoto. He was the Head of the Mathematics Department at the Royal Institute of Technology from 2000 until 2009. Between 2006 and 2014 he was the Director of the Strategic Research Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CIAM) [7] at KTH. In 2011 he was appointed Zhiyuan Chair Professor and Qian Ren Scholar at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. [8] [9]

Lindquist is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015), [10] [11] a Member of the Academia Europaea (Academy of Europe), [12] an Honorary Member of Hungarian Operations Research Society, [13] and a Foreign Member of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, [14] a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics [15] and a Fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control. [16] He was awarded the SIGEST of the SIAM Review (2001) and the George S. Axelby Award of the IEEE Control Systems Society (2003). [17] [18] He was the Zaborszky Distinguished Lecturer [19] in 2000 and the Distinguished Israel Pollak Lecturer in 2005 and 2006. He received the W. T. and Idalia Reid Prize in Mathematics in 2009 for his "fundamental contributions to the theory of stochastic systems, signals, and control" [20] [21] and an Honorary Doctorate (Doctor Scientiarum Honoris Causa) from The Technion in 2010. [22] He is the recipient of the 2020 IEEE Field Medal in Systems and Control, the IEEE Control Systems Award. Anders Lindquist is a Knight Commander with Star of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre.

Mathematical optimization or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization. Optimization problems arise in all quantitative disciplines from computer science and engineering to operations research and economics, and the development of solution methods has been of interest in mathematics for centuries.

In control theory, a separation principle, more formally known as a principle of separation of estimation and control, states that under some assumptions the problem of designing an optimal feedback controller for a stochastic system can be solved by designing an optimal observer for the state of the system, which feeds into an optimal deterministic controller for the system. Thus the problem can be broken into two separate parts, which facilitates the design.

In mathematics, specifically in control theory, subspace identification (SID) aims at identifying linear time invariant (LTI) state space models from input-output data. SID does not require that the user parametrizes the system matrices before solving a parametric optimization problem and, as a consequence, SID methods do not suffer from problems related to local minima that often lead to unsatisfactory identification results.
