Abstract

Passification-based adaptive control, also known as simple adaptive control, is studied with respect to its robustness to time-varying uncertainties. Results are formulated in terms of LMIs and are therefore testable in polynomial time using semi-definite programming solvers. The main result shows that the adaptive strategy allows, without measurement nor estimation of the uncertain parameters to guarantee asymptotic stability for a wide rage of these parameters. To achieve this result, the stability property is relaxed: convergence is proved to a small neighborhood of the origin, and attractive domain. It is also demonstrated that this attractor can be made as small as required the only limitation being implementation constraints.
