An integrated approach to modeling and adaptive control

In the book (Adaptive Identification, Prediction and Control—Multi Level Recursive Approach), the concept of dynamical linearization of nonlinear systems has been presented. This dynamical linearization is formal only, not a real linearization. From the linearization procedure, we can find a new approach of system identification, which is on-line real-time modeling and real-time feedback control correction. The modeling and real-time feedback control have been integrated in the identification approach, with the parameter adaptation model being abandoned. The structure adaptation of control systems has been achieved, which avoids the complex modeling steps. The objective of this paper is to introduce the approach of integrated modeling and control. __________ Translated from Acta Automatica Sinica, 2004, 30(3): 380–389 (in Chinese)
