The area of adaptive control has grown to be one of the richest in terms of algorithms, design techniques, analytical tools, and modifications. To an outsider, however, the field of adaptive control may appear as a collection of unrelated tricks and modifications. Robust Adaptive Control reduces the confusion and difficulty in understanding the design, analysis, and robustness of a wide class of adaptive control for continuous-time plants. Presented in a tutorial style, this book unifies, simplifies, and presents most of the existing techniques for designing and analyzing adaptive control systems.
Tables offer descriptions of adaptive control schemes.
Techniques and algorithms are displayed for on-line fitting of dynamic and static models to data generated by real systems. The diskette included with Robust Adaptive Control helps the reader more fully understand some of the implementation aspects of adaptive Systems. The book is written to be used as a textbook for classes dealing with Nonlinear systems and stability, Identification, Adaptive Control and Robustness. A solution manual is available for instructors.
