Direct Adaptive Control Algorithms : Theory and Applications

Suitable either as a reference or as a graduate-level text in adaptive control systems, the text is a self-contained compendium of adaptive control algorithms readily implementable with regard to a wide variety of engineering problems, developed and applied by the authors for over fifteen years. Corrected and updated throughout, the second edition also includes a diskette with MATLAB programs to run some of the illustrative examples.
