Abstract
An iterative learning control scheme is described for linear discrete-time systems. A weighted least-squares criterion of learning error is optimized to obtain a unique control gain for a case when the number of sampling is relatively small. It is then shown that algorithmic convergence can be readily guaranteed, because the present learning rule consists of a steady-state Kalman filter. By paying attention to the sparse system structure for the system's impulse response model, we further derive a suboptimal iterative learning control for a practical case when the number of sampling is large.
