<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Clear, conceptual presentation surveys major results, techniques of analysis, and research. Focuses chiefly on linear, continuous time, and single-input, single-output systems, including relevant algorithms, dynamic properties, and tools for analysis. 1989 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With a focus on linear, continuous time, single-input, single-output systems, this volume surveys the major results and techniques of analysis in the field of adaptive control. The authors offer a clear, conceptual presentation of adaptive methods, enabling a critical evaluation of these techniques and suggesting avenues of further development.<br>A brief historical overview of adaptive control is followed by a review of mathematical preliminaries and the development of several adaptive identification algorithms. Succeeding chapters examine averaging techniques, the robustness of adaptive schemes, and advanced topics -- including the use of prior information and multivariable adaptive control -- followed by a concise introduction to the control of a class of nonlinear systems. The treatment is largely self-contained, assuming only some graduate-level background in basic control systems and in linear systems theory.
