Adaptive nonlinear output-feedback schemes with Marino-Tomei controller

TL;DR: Three new adaptive nonlinear output-feedback schemes are presented, one of which employs the tuning functions technique, while the other two employ a novel estimation-based approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum-energy control of a traction motor

TL;DR: In this paper, the minimum energy control for a ground transportation vehicle with a dc traction motor for which regenerative braking is possible is obtained for a nonlinear second-order model.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nonlinear regulator problem for a model of biological waste treatment

TL;DR: Using the Monod model of bacterial growth, the pollutant removal problem was formulated as an optimum state regulator problem as mentioned in this paper, which was solved by a direct method based on an application of Green's theorem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disturbance instabilities in an adaptive system

TL;DR: In this article, two types of disturbance instability of simple adaptive schemes are analyzed and a drift equation shows how stable equilibria are forced to infinity by infrequent but persistent switches of a constant disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive Control of Systems with Backlash

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of backlash inverse was developed and a parametrization of the error caused by its estimate was given, and an adaptive backlash inverse controller for unknown plants with backlash was designed.
