Summary Recently proposed adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) tracking controllers assume that the reference trajectory follows time‐invariant exo‐system dynamics—an assumption does not hold for many applications. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a new Q‐function explicitly incorporates parametrized approximation of trajectory. This allows learning track general class trajectories by means ADP. Once our has been learned, associated controller handles time‐varying without need...
