摘 要：The sister fields of control and communication share many common goals. While communication aims to reduce uncertainty by communicating information about the state of the world, control aims to reduce uncertainty by moving the state of the world to a known point. Furthermore, transmitters must communicate over the unreliability in the communication channel, while controllers must overcome unreliability in the sensing and actuation channels of the system to stabilize it. Extensive work in information theory has provided a framework with which we can understand the fundamental limits on the communication capacity of a communication channel. This dissertation builds on the information-theoretic perspective to understand the limits on the ability of controllers to actively dissipate uncertainty in systems.
