Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the adaptive optimal steady state control of nonlinear systems. If the plant dynamics are unknown and vary from time to time in an unpredictable manner, it is evident that some type of identification scheme must be incorporated into the system operation to achieve and maintain optimal performance in any meaningful sense. The techniques which have been proposed to cope with this problem, often referred to as an adaptive or adaptive-optimal control problem, usually require some a priori information of the plant dynamic characteristics, for example, the order and form of the differential equations may be known though some of the coefficients may be unknown. Such techniques are useful when the order and form of the plant differential equations are known. An adaptive optimal control scheme which does not rely upon a priori knowledge of the order or form of the plant differential equations is the Draper and Li extremum or peak holding controller.
