Multivariable adaptive control: A survey

Adaptive control is a control methodology capable of dealing with uncertain systems to ensure desired control performance. This paper provides an overview of some fundamental theoretical aspects and technical issues of multivariable adaptive control, and a thorough presentation of various adaptive control schemes for multi-input–multi-output systems, literature reviews on adaptive control foundations and multivariable adaptive control methods, and related technical problems. It covers some basic concepts and issues such as certainty equivalence, stability, tracking, robustness, and parameter convergence. It discusses some of the most important topics of adaptive control: plant uncertainty parametrization, stable controller adaptation, and design conditions for different adaptive control schemes. The paper also presents a detailed study of well-developed multivariable model reference adaptive control theory and design techniques. It provides an introduction to multivariable adaptive pole placement and adaptive nonlinear control, and it concludes by identifying some open research problems.

Links between different stabilities of switched homogeneous systems with delays and uncertainties

This paper addresses the links between three stabilities (attractivity, asymptotic stability, and exponential stability) of switched homogeneous systems with delays and uncertainties. A system has a certain property over a given set of switching signals if the property holds for all switching signals in . It is shown that a switched homogeneous system of degree one is exponentially stable over a given set of switching signals if it is attractive or asymptotically stable over the same set. The result is then applied to switched linear systems with delays and uncertainties. Finally, an example follows to show that ‘being over a given set of switching signals’ is necessary to guarantee the equivalence between different stabilities.

Recursive state estimation for discrete‐time nonlinear systems with event‐triggered data transmission,norm‐bounded uncertainties and multiple missing measurements

In this paper, we consider the recursive state estimation problem for a class of discrete‐time nonlinear systems with event‐triggered data transmission, norm‐bounded uncertainties, and multiple missing measurements. The phenomenon of event‐triggered communication mechanism occurs only when the specified event‐triggering condition is violated, which leads to a reduction in the number of excessive signal transmissions in a network. A sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables is employed to model the multiple measurements missing in the transmission. The norm‐bounded uncertainties that could be considered as external disturbances which lie in a bounded set. The purpose of the addressed filtering problem is to obtain an optimal robust recursive filter in the minimum‐variance sense such that with the simultaneous presence of event‐triggered data transmission, norm‐bounded uncertainties, and multiple missing measurements; the filtering error is minimized at each sampling time. By solving two Riccati‐like difference equations, the filter gain is calculated recursively. Based on the stochastic analysis theory, it is proved that the estimation error is bounded under certain conditions. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

State and Output Feedback Certainty Equivalence M‐MRAC for Systems with Unmatched Uncertainties

The paper presents a certainty equivalence indirect adaptive control design method for parametric strict feedback nonlinear systems of any relative degree with unmatched uncertainties in state and output feedback settings. The approach is based on the parameter identification (estimation) model, which is completely separated from the control design and is capable of producing parameter estimates as fast as the computing power allows. It is shown that the system's input and output tracking errors can be systematically decreased by the proper choice of the design parameters.
