Advances in stochastic distribution control

Stochastic distribution control systems aims at the controller design so as to realize a shape control of the distributions of certain random variables in the process. Once the probability density functions (PDFs) of these variables are used to describe their distributions, the control task is to obtain control signals so that the output PFDs of the system are made to follow their target PDFs. In this paper, a survey of the recent developments on the research of stochastic distribution control systems will be made.
