Adaptive control for a class of large scale non-linear systems
(2005)The design of stabilizing controllers for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) non-linear plants with unknown non-linearities is a challenging problem. The inability to identify the non-linearities on-line or off-line accurately ...

Adaptive mixing control with multiple estimators
(2012)A recently proposed adaptive control scheme with mixing involves the use of precalculated candidate controllers whose output is weighted on the basis of the parameter estimates generated by an online parameter estimator. ...

Adaptive mode-suppression and disturbance-rejection scheme with application to disk drives
(2009)The goal of a track-following controller for a disk drive is to maintain as close to perfect tracking as possible. Better tracking allows for more data to be stored on a single disk. There are several factors which make ...
