Abstract A variable structure model reference adaptive controller (VS-MRAC) using only the input and output measurements of plant is proposed. Stability transient properties are analysed discussed. Remarkable behaviour revealed, in particular, following can be perfectly achieved a finite time. The effect disturbance investigated performance VS also shown to qualitatively superior that obtained with (conventional) integral adaptation algorithms. link between VS-MRAC conventional MRAC...

Recently, the introduction of a kind forgetting factor, called σ-modification, in adaptation law for continuous-time systems was proposed to improve adaptive system robustness. However, this paper shows that, similarly diserete-time case, bursting phenomena may occur solely due factor.

In this note, we extend the application of a less restrictive condition about high-frequency gain matrix to design stable direct model reference adaptive control for class multivariable plants with relative degree greater than one. The new approach is based on parametrization derived from factorization K/sub p/ in form product three matrices, one them being diagonal. Three possible factorizations are presented. Only signs diagonal factor or, equivalently, leading principal minors p/, assumed known.

The Amazon rainforest stands at the forefront of socio-ecohydrological challenges, with ever-growing extreme events such as droughts and floods disrupting ecosystems local communities. Addressing these issues requires co-creative transdisciplinary approaches that blend scientific knowledge lived experiences expertise diverse stakeholders. Here, we present three distinct co-creation initiatives in Amazon, each a different stage development, to illustrate transformative potential, complexities...

ABSTRACT This paper proposes an output‐feedback sliding mode control design for a class of uncertain multivariable plants with nonlinear disturbances. The approach used here is based on the parameterization employed in model‐reference adaptive control. disturbances are allowed to be unmatched and depend not only plant output but also its unmeas‐urable state. A less restrictive condition uncertainty high frequency gain matrix obtained.

An adaptive control scheme for dynamic positioning (DP) of remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV) is proposed based on a recently developed output feedback variable structure (VSC) algorithm named VS-MRAC. Only position measurement required. Precise modeling the ROV not needed and unmodeled perturbations can be effectively rejected. A simple method discretizing original continuous-time VS-MRAC dead-beat response. Other important practical implementation issues are considered. The...

A MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) analog to the well-known Lyapunov-based SISO (single-input, single-output) design of MRAC (model-reference adaptive control) has been recently introduced by L. Hsu et al. (2001). The new utilizes a control parametrization derived from factorization high-frequency gain matrix K/sub p/=SDU, where S is symmetric positive-definite, D diagonal and U unity upper-triangular. Only signs entries or, equivalently, leading principal minors p/, were assumed be...
