A minor note: Shouldn't K and L be swapped in the description? K is traditionally the feedback gain and L the observer gain. Also is it really necessary to write x,y,A,B,C etc be function of time? It's a bit ugly and makes things hard to read. I would just like to thank the author who put forth a clear prose explanation of the LQG concept at the beginning of the article. This should be mirrored for any page that handles similar content in control theory. This helps people who are still learning to figure out if they should even bother looking at a particular control technique for a given application.--128.63.18.40 (talk) 17:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC) shouldn't there also be a Du(t) in the first equation set for the output signal? I.e. direct proportional signal from u to y? y(t)=Cx(t)+Du(t)+w(t) instead of y(t)=Cx(t)+w(t)? This is what I remember to have learnt in my control theory course, but maybe this makes things non-linear and would be out of the scope of this article? As a comment on the first commenter, explicit marking of the time dependence in the first equation can help to signify the explicit time variability of the system, I would think a remark that the explicit mentioning of (t) will be dropped in the rest of the text might do to make the math easier to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:983:89F9:1:7830:3F3A:282C:999C (talk) 11:53, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Missing brackets?

In the equation for $P_{i+1}$ for the discrete time case, is there a pair of square brackets missing around $\left({\mathbf {x} }_{0}-{\hat {\mathbf {x} }}_{0}\right)\left({\mathbf {x} }_{0}-{\hat {\mathbf {x} }}_{0}\right)^{\mathrm {T} }$ when calculating the expected value? Or should the expected value be calculated as $E\left[{\mathbf {x} }_{0}-{\hat {\mathbf {x} }}_{0}\right]\left({\mathbf {x} }_{0}-{\hat {\mathbf {x} }}_{0}\right)^{\mathrm {T} }$?

Linear-quadratic-Gaussian control → Linear–quadratic–Gaussian control – This term should make use of en-dashes and not hyphens. For some reason though, I don't seem to be able to make the move myself; perhaps Wikipedia considers the two titles identical. If that is the case, this behavior should be changed so that Wikipedia doesn't consider the two titles to be identical (because they're not). —Kri (talk) 16:31, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Support per MOS:ENDASH. My guess is that you'll need to rename to some third title, then re-rename to add the en-dashes. Sneftel (talk) 17:32, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for going ahead and making this page title change. Normative page titles are a big part of the Wikipedia value add to the larger world. It's almost a poor man's de facto manual of style. We can't always get it right, but we can usually get it not wrong. — MaxEnt 23:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Lead flagged for tone

The slightly excessive use of italic for emphasis, and several uses of "i.e." lend the lead a slightly OR flavour. This is partly because the lead is making an effort to be substantive. More articles should have this kind of small problem. — MaxEnt 23:27, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
