Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling, via application of first and second inputs, a system incorporating a load having a non-linear output-input relationship, the method comprising: (A) applying the first input to the load; (B) measuring a first output resulting from the first input applied to the load; (C) applying the second input to the load; (D) measuring a second output resulting from the second input applied to the load, an output difference between the second output and the first output having a magnitude and a polarity; (E) altering the second input by an input increment having a magnitude and polarity based at least in part on the magnitude and polarity of the output difference between the second output and the first output; and (F) repeating steps (A)-(E) during operation of the system to regulate operation of the load notwithstanding any changes in the non-linear output-input relationship of the load during operation.
