Abstract

Progress in theory and applications of adaptive control is reviewed. Different approaches are discussed with particular emphasis on model reference adaptive systems and self-tuning regulators. Techniques for analysing adaptive systems are discussed. This includes stability and convergence analysis. It is shown that adaptive control laws can also be obtained from stochastic control theory. Issues of importance for applications are covered. This includes parameterization, tuning, and tracking, as well as different ways of using adaptive control. An overview of applications is given. This includes feasibility studies as well as products based on adaptive techniques.
