Abstract

Classical control system design techniques are extended to include cases with large parameter and state variations. New results on stability of adaptive gain control systems are obtained and a new method to design self-selecting controllers is presented. It is then shown that microcomputers are well suited for hybrid implementation of the resulting control systems. Several examples and a short survey on industrial applications are also given.
