Abstract: | An on-line parameter identification problem is posed and solved for discrete-time systems with general knowledge on the level of the inherent information noise. The knowledge can be the bound on either the magnitude or the finite-index
p norm, pε1, ∞), of the noise. Based on the knowledge, a switching type gradient algorithm (or called gradient algorithm with dead zone) is proposed to estimate the parameters of the system from the available input-output data. In spite of the existence of the noise, this on-line algorithm guarantees that the estimation error is monotonically decreasing, and the parameter estimate is convergent to a steady-state value under a mild condition. Furthermore, the algorithm is stable in the sense that the estimation error will converge to zero as the bound on the noise gradually diminishes. |
