“…For example, following a formulation that appeared in the Russian literature in the late 1960s (see, eg, the works of Yakubovich and Fradkov), we can state the model‐based nonlinear adaptive control problem as follows: consider a nonlinear plant modeled in the state space by the nonlinear differential equation, ie, where are the scalar time variable, the state vector, the output vector, and the control vector, respectively. represents a vector of unknown parameters, element of an a priori known set , and F and G are two smooth functions.…”
