Abstract: Using an adaptive method introduced in (Messner et al., 1991), a standard identification technique for linear systems can be extended to identify nonlinear functions in dynamical systems under ...

Abstract: A closed-form solution for the time optimal control of a dual actuator disk drive system that takes into account the physical constraint limiting the relative motion of the fine and coarse ...

Abstract: An analysis of a nonlinear control system that was used to track the natural frequency of a MEMS resonator is presented in this paper. A phase-locked loop system is used to track the natural ...

Abstract: There have been theoretical developments on the control of dynamic systems based on deterministically uncertain and singularly perturbed models in recent years. In this paper, a robust deterministic ...

Abstract: Adaptive systems involving function learning can be formulated in terms of integral equations of the first kind, possibly with separable, finite-dimensional kernels. The learning process involves ...

Abstract: The control of d.c. motors is often complicated by the fact that the dynamics of the system to be controlled are unknown. In this paper a deterministic controller is employed to control a ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the digital implementation and experimental evaluation of two adaptive controllers for robotic manipulators. The first is a continuous time model reference adaptive ...
