Description

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
