Closed-loop Reference Models for Output-Feedback Adaptive Systems

TL;DR

This paper extends the concept of closed-loop reference models to single input single output plants of arbitrary relative degree, demonstrating improved transient response in output-feedback adaptive systems.

Contribution

It generalizes closed-loop reference models from states accessible systems to SISO plants of any relative degree, enhancing adaptive control performance.

Findings

Improved transient response with closed-loop reference models.

Extension from accessible states to arbitrary relative degree plants.

Theoretical validation of the extended approach.

Abstract

Closed-loop reference models have recently been proposed for states accessible adaptive systems. They have been shown to have improved transient response over their open loop counter parts. The results in the states accessible case are extended to single input single output plants of arbitrary relative degree.
