Adaptive Nonlinear Control With Contraction Metrics

TLDR
This letter derives direct adaptive control algorithms for nonlinear systems nominally contracting in closed-loop, but subject to structured parametric uncertainty from methods based on feedback linearization or backstepping.
Abstract
This letter derives direct adaptive control algorithms for nonlinear systems nominally contracting in closed-loop, but subject to structured parametric uncertainty. The approach is more general than methods based on feedback linearization or backstepping as it does not require invertibility or the system be in strict-feedback form. More broadly, it can be combined with learned controllers that must remain effective in the presence of structured parametric uncertainty. Simulation results illustrate the approach on a system with extended matched uncertainty.

Contraction theory for nonlinear stability analysis and learning-based control: A tutorial overview

TL;DR: Contraction theory is an analytical tool to study differential dynamics of a non-autonomous (i.e., time-varying) nonlinear system under a contraction metric defined with a uniformly positive definite matrix, the existence of which results in a necessary and sufficient characterization of incremental exponential stability of multiple solution trajectories with respect to each other as mentioned in this paper.

Implicit Regularization and Momentum Algorithms in Nonlinearly Parameterized Adaptive Control and Prediction.

TL;DR: Stable concurrent learning and control of dynamical systems is the subject of adaptive control Despite being an established field with many practical applications and a rich theory, much of the literature is focused on adaptive control.

On contraction analysis for non-linear systems

TL;DR: These results may be viewed as generalizing the classical Krasovskii theorem, and, more loosely, linear eigenvalue analysis, and the approach is illustrated by controller and observer designs for simple physical examples.

Affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions and real parametric uncertainty

TL;DR: These LMI-based tests are applicable to constant or time-varying uncertain parameters and are less conservative than quadratic stability in the case of slow parametric variations, and they often compare favorably with /spl mu/ analysis for time-invariant parameter uncertainty.

Adaptive nonlinear control without overparametrization

TL;DR: In this paper, a new design procedure for adaptive nonlinear control is proposed in which the number of parameter estimates is minimal, that is, equal to the unknown parameters, and the adaptive systems designed by this procedure possess stronger stability properties than those using overparametrization.
