Adaptive Control Design and Analysis

This is a systematic and unified presentation of the fundamentals of adaptive control theory in both continuous time and discrete time. 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. Adaptive Control Design and Analysis features: introduction to systems and control; stability, operator norms, and signal convergence; adaptive parameter estimation; state feedback adaptive control designs; parametrization of state observers for adaptive control; unified continuous and discrete time adaptive control; L1+a robustness theory for adaptive systems; direct and indirect adaptive control designs; benchmark comparison study of adaptive control designs; multivariate adaptive control; nonlinear adaptive control; adaptive compensation of actuator nonlinearities; end of chapter discussion, problems, and advanced topics. 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.
