Adaptive control of nonlinear systems

In the last few years, adaptive control of nonlinear systems has emerged as an important area of research, with possible applications in areas as diverse as robotic systems, electric motors, chemical processes, and automotive suspensions. Many of the existing results employ design methods and proof techniques borrowed from the adaptive linear control literature. As a consequence, they impose linear growth constraints on the nonlinearities in order to guarantee global stability. Such constraints bypass the true nonlinear problem and exclude many practically important systems. Furthermore, most existing results are based on the often unrealistic assumption of full-state feedback.
