Conservation Based Uncertainty Propagation In Dynamic Systems, Lillian J. Ratliff
Conservation Based Uncertainty Propagation In Dynamic Systems, Lillian J. Ratliff
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Uncertainty is present in our everyday decision making process as well as our understanding of the structure of the universe. As a result an intense and mathematically rigorous study of how uncertainty propagates in the dynamic systems present in our lives is warranted and arguably necessary. In this thesis we examine existing methods for uncertainty propagation in dynamic systems and present the results of a literature survey that justifies the development of a conservation based method of uncertainty propagation. Conservation methods are physics based and physics drives our understanding of the physical world. Thus, it makes perfect sense to formulate …
