Abstract

We present a new adaptive control scheme where the control is chosen both to regulate and to elicit information. This is done by minimizing the one-step-ahead expected squared output, subject to a constraint on the trace of the one-step-ahead information matrix. We also incorporate a covariance-adaptive feature in the algorithm. Simulation results are given to compare the performance of this method to that of the perturbation controller of Wieslander and Wittenmark.
