From the Publisher
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 colloection 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.
From the Back Cover
Most of the confusion and difficulty in understanding the design, analysis and robustness of a wide class of adaptive systems for continous-time plants will be alleviated by this new book that promises to be the most comprehensive guide available in the area of adaptive control of continuous-time systems. Presents most of the existing techniques for designing and analyzing adaptive systems, in a tutorial manner. Covers models for dynamic systems, stability, on- line parameter estimation, parameter identifiers, model reference adaptive control, adaptive pole placement control, and robust adaptive laws. For engineers working in the areas of identification, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and controls.
