Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Evidence
Method evidence record

Linear Quadratic Gaussian

The Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller combines the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) with a Kalman Filter to handle stochastic systems with measurement noise and process noise. Developed by Kalman and later formalized by Athans and others, LQG is the natural stochastic extension of LQR and remains the gold standard for optimal linear control under noise, with applications spanning spacecraft, aircraft autopilot, and industrial process control.
