Robust Adaptive Control

Deadzone-Adapted Disturbance Suppression
An innovative approach to adaptive control reconciles robust disturbance rejection with asymptotic performance. Integrating a deadzone update law, nonlinear damping, and the DADS scheme, the methodology explores stability challenges, mitigates parameter drift, and addresses issues like wing rock instability.
The book presents a solution to a problem in adaptive control design that was open for 40 years: robustification of disturbances without compromising asymptotic performance. This original methodology builds on foundational ideas, such as the use of a deadzone in the update law and nonlinear damping in the controller, and advances the tools for and the theory behind designing robust adaptive controllers, thus guaranteeing robustness properties stronger than previously achieved. Numerous examples provide detailed analyses of the new methodology.
