Abstract: A modified gradient procedure is proposed for making discrete-time changes in the adjustable parameters of a continuous-time nonlinear control system during normal operating conditions. The algorithm ...

Abstract: The paper concerns an approach to adaptive optimal control of nonlinear dynamic systems which has been introduced by Kulikowski. In this approach, the required identification is carried out at ...

Abstract: The paper extends and modifies an approach to adaptive optimal control problems proposed by Kulikowski. The emphasis at the outset is placed upon optimizing the steady-state system performance ...

Abstract: A design procedure is presented which focuses upon a dynamic compensator of prespecified structural form. The order and feedback matrices of the compensator are first chosen to achieve stability ...

Abstract: The paper relates to an approach introduced by Kulikowski for adaptive optimal control of nonlinear systems. In this approach, the plant dynamics are represented symbolically by an operator which ...

Abstract: A recursive least-squares estimator is developed in an identification observer format with the property that the need for estimating initial conditions is eliminated for time limited data. ...
