Geometric Problems in Adaptive Control.

Abstract

Adaptive control has become practical in recent years because of the increased use of VLSI technology in implementing feedback control. The work described here has lead to the first proofs of convergence for some adaptive algorithms for stabilizing linear time invariant, but unknown, systems. It has also clarified robustness issues associated with this class of adaptive control algorithms. With the use of geometrical methods it has been possible to establish the impossibility of achieving several types of adaptive behavior. New directions for expanding the field of adaptive control have been explored. (Author)
