Robust Adaptive Control

by Petros A. Ioannou

Most of the confusion and difficulty in understanding the design, analysis and robustness of a wide class of adaptive systems for continous-time plants will be alleviated by this new book that promises to be the most comprehensive guide available in the area of adaptive control of continuous-time systems. KEY Presents most of the existing techniques for designing and analyzing adaptive systems, in a tutorial manner. Covers models for dynamic systems, stability, on- line parameter estimation, parameter identifiers, model reference adaptive control, adaptive pole placement control, and robust adaptive laws. For engineers working in the areas of identification, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and controls.

A book that achieves inclusion of a plethora of aspects of adaptive control.

However, it fails significantly to:
- Convey intuition to the reader (equations are considered as "givens"). A good book for engineers contains visualizations and attempts to provide interpretations to equations.
Adaptive Control is a beautiful field and requires more justice than simply throwing down equations
- Be analytic, as it leaves multiple questions unanswered. Oftentimes in the book it is said "term A can easily be calculated from equation (1)", however that is not obvious
