Adaptive Control Design and Analysis

A systematic and unified presentation of the fundamentals of adaptive control theory in both continuous time and discrete time <p>Today, adaptive control theory has grown to be a rigorous and mature discipline. As the advantages of adaptive systems for developing advanced applications grow apparent, adaptive control is becoming more popular in many fields of engineering and science. Using a simple, balanced, and harmonious style, this book provides a convenient introduction to the subject and improves one’s understanding of adaptive control theory.</p> <p><i>Adaptive Control Design and Analysis</i> features:</p> <ul> <li>Introduction to systems and control</li> <li>Stability, operator norms, and signal convergence</li> <li>Adaptive parameter estimation</li> <li>State feedback adaptive control designs</li> <li>Parametrization of state observers for adaptive control</li> <li>Unified continuous and discrete-time adaptive control</li> <li>L1+a robustness theory for adaptive systems</li> <li>Direct and indirect adaptive control designs</li> <li>Benchmark comparison study of adaptive control designs</li> <li>Multivariate adaptive control</li> <li>Nonlinear adaptive control</li> <li>Adaptive compensation of actuator nonlinearities</li> <li>End-of-chapter discussion, problems, and advanced topics</li> </ul> As either a textbook or reference, this self-contained tutorial of adaptive control design and analysis is ideal for practicing engineers, researchers, and graduate students alike.
