Central tendency adaptive pole assignment

Abstract

The concept of central-tendency adaptive control for achieving minimum variance objectives, proposed by the authors in a companion paper (1989), is applied to adaptive pole assignment. At any iteration, given plant parameter estimate and their uncertainty, a controller is designed which is most likely to achieve the pole assignment objectives. Simulations show a factor-of-100 improvement in transient response over certainty equivalent adaptive pole assignment schemes, for one example.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
