A note on the model reference adaptive control of linear parabolic systems with constant coefficients

Abstract

The problem of constructing a model reference adaptive control law for an uncertain 1-dimensional parabolic system with one constant coefficient is considered in this paper. Adaptive control law are obtained by Lyapunov redesign method. The energy method for parabolic systems and the Agmon's inequality are applied in the analysis, which leads to a stronger result than that of Hong and Bentsman (Automatica, 1994).
