Robust adaptive regulation of potentially inversely unstable first-order hybrid systems (Q1307592)

The authors of this paper present a robust adaptive stabilization scheme for a class of first-order hybrid time-invariant linear systems which contain both continuous and discrete signals. The design separates discrete and continuous dynamics by generating two additive terms to build the control action. The same adaptation error is used for parameter estimation of both continuous and discrete system components. Controllability of the estimated plant model is managed by means of a hysteresis switching function. No assumptions are made on the plant parameters or on the sign of the high frequency gain. When no unmodeled dynamics or noise are present, the authors prove uniform boundedness of all signals in the loop and global asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Results from simulation runs are used to illustrate the authors' results.
