Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory and Application, Volume 26: System Identification and Adaptive Control, Part 2 of 3 deals with system parameter identification and adaptive control. It presents useful techniques for effective stochastic adaptive control systems. This volume presents a powerful technique for identifying discrete time and continuous time linear time-invariant multivariable systems. It also includes the use of identifiable representations for linear multivariable systems; parametric identification of transfer functions of linear system; compares model reference adaptive control and model identification control; estimation of transfer function models; multivariable self-tuning control; and covariance analysis. This volume ends with powerful techniques for adaptive control for stochastic linear systems. This text is of great value to practitioners in the field who want a comprehensive reference source of techniques with significant applied implications.
