Direct Adaptive Control Algorithms

Suitable either as a reference or as a graduate-level text in adaptive control systems, the text is a self-contained compendium of adaptive control algorithms readily implementable with regard to a wide variety of engineering problems, developed and applied by the authors for over fifteen years. Corrected and updated throughout, the second edition also includes a diskette with MATLAB programs to run some of the illustrative examples.

Book is completely up to date Matlab programs for implementing algorithms available from the MathSoft server Book covers a wide rage of apllications from machanical engineering to bio-medicine
