Iterative feedback tuning—an overview

Abstract

Abstract Adaptive and iterative control algorithms based on explicit criterion minimization are briefly reviewed and an overview of one such algorithm, iterative feedback tuning (IFT), is presented. The basic IFT algorithm is reviewed for both single‐input/single‐output and multi‐input/multi‐output systems. Subsequently the application to non‐linear systems is discussed. Stability and robustness aspects are covered. A survey of existing extensions, applications and related methods is also provided. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
