Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems: A Tutorial

  • Conference paper
Adaptive Control, Filtering, and Signal Processing

Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications ((IMA,volume 74))

Abstract

We present a tutorial overview of recent Lyapunov-based results in adaptive control of nonlinear systems. Design tools like backstepping, overparametrization, and tuning functions are illustrated via simple examples. We also discuss the recently introduced “κ-terms”, which endow the resulting adaptive systems with new properties, such as boundedness without adaptation and systematic transient performance improvement through trajectory initialization.
