Robust adaptive stabilizer of a class of time-varying plants using multiple controllers (Q1874207)

An adaptive control strategy for a tracking problem involving a first-order continuous-time system with unmodeled dynamics is developed. The proposed scheme consists of a set of estimation algorithms which selects the appropriate controller for the unknown model. The number of controllers needed in this scheme is reduced by the fact that each single control law is itself adaptive, using an adaptive pole placement strategy for the model chosen by the estimator.
