Adaptive Control Design and Analysis

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.
