Abstract
Given a linear regression model in discrete-time containing a vector of constant uncertain parameters, this paper addresses the problem of designing an exponentially convergent parameter estimation algorithm, even when the regressor vector is not persistently exciting (not even in a finite time interval). On the basis of the definition of lack of persistency of excitation of order for the regressor vector, (which coincides with the classical definition of persistency of excitation when ), a generalized projection estimation algorithm is proposed which guarantees global exponential convergence of the parameter estimation error and allows for the on-line computation of the order of the lack of persistency of excitation. When the lack of persistency of excitation is of order zero, global exponential convergence to zero of the parameter estimation error is obtained, recovering a well-known result and the projection estimation algorithm as a special case.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
