Dynamic Adaptation Gains for Nonlinear Systems with Unmatched Uncertainties (2311.05082v1)

Abstract: We present a new direct adaptive control approach for nonlinear systems with unmatched and matched uncertainties. The method relies on adjusting the adaptation gains of individual unmatched parameters whose adaptation transients would otherwise destabilize the closed-loop system. The approach also guarantees the restoration of the adaptation gains to their nominal values and can readily incorporate direct adaptation laws for matched uncertainties. The proposed framework is general as it only requires stabilizability for all possible models.
