Abstract

We consider the control of nonlinear systems in which parameters are uncertain and may vary. For such systems the control must adapt to the parameter change to deliver closed-loop performance, such as asymptotic stability or tracking. A concise description of available methods and basic adaptive stabilization results, which can be used as building blocks for complex adaptive control problems, are discussed.
