      Adaptive Control of Linear Time-Varying Plants: A New Model Reference Controller Structure 

      Tsakalis, Kostas S.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1989)
      In this paper we study the problem of developing a control law which can force the output of a linear time-varying plant to track the output of a stable linear time-invariant reference model. We first show that the standard ...

      Adaptive control of time‐varying plants: Simple examples 

      Tsakalis, Kostas S.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1988)
      The design and properties of an adaptive model reference scheme and an adaptive pole placement control scheme for linear time‐varying plants are demonstrated via two simple examples. The two new schemes combine new control ...

      Instability analysis and robust adaptive control of robotic manipulators 

      Reed, John S.; Ioannou, Petros A. (Publ by IEEE, 1988)
      The robustness of adaptive controllers with respect to uncertainty is examined. The uncertainties include bounded input disturbances, unknown and time-varying plant parameters, and unmodeled dynamics. A simple example shows ...

      A New Indirect Adaptive Control Scheme for Time-Varying Plants 

      Tsakalis, Kostas S.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1990)
      An indirect robust adaptive controller designed for linear time-invariant plants may also meet its control objective approximately for slowly time-varying plants. The plant parameter variations act as a disturbance in the ...
