Parameter Convergence Conditions Independent of Plant Order
D. S. Rhode,Petar V. Kokotovic +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudogradient adaptive approach for slow adaptation is developed combining sensitivity results from the 1960's and recent developments in averaging and integral manifold methods, where the parametrization and number of parameters are not related to the plant order.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Robust nested saturation redesign for systems with input unmodeled dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider nonlinear systems in feed forward form and redesign nested saturation control laws to guarantee global asymptotic stability in the presence of unmodeled dynamics appearing at the system input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity comparison of optimal controls
TL;DR: In this article, the performance index sensitivity for the general optimal control problem with initial and final target manifolds is analyzed for two arbitrary controllers A and B which are optimal for a nominal parameter value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Control of Bacterial Growth
TL;DR: In this article, a stabilizing feedback control for Haldane-Monod model of microbial growth is designed for stabilizing the growth of a set of microorganisms, which is optimal in the sense that it approaches the maximum production steady state from any initial state.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Observer-based control of systems with slope-restricted nonlinearities
Murat Arcak,Petar V. Kokotovic +1 more
TL;DR: An observer design is presented which makes use of bounds on the slope of system nonlinearities to ensure global asymptotic stability and one such certainty-equivalence design is illustrated on an active magnetic bearing example.
