About the Authors

Michel Misiti, Georges Oppenheim, and Jean-Michel Poggi are mathematics professors at Ecole Centrale de Lyon, University of Marne-La-Vallée and Paris 5 University. Yves Misiti is a research engineer specializing in Computer Sciences at Paris 11 University.

The authors are members of the "Laboratoire de Mathématique" at Orsay-Paris 11 University France.

Their fields of interest are statistical signal processing, stochastic processes, adaptive control, and wavelets.

The authors' group, established more than 15 years ago, has published numerous theoretical papers and carried out applications in close collaboration with industrial teams. For instance:

• Robustness of the piloting law for a civilian space launcher for which an expert system was developed
• Forecasting of the electricity consumption by nonlinear methods
• Forecasting of air pollution
