As in previous designs, the use of a properly designed signal, compensating for the effects of parameter mismatch on the output error, leads to \"arbitrary\" performance improvement. However, unlike previous designs based on first-order (classical) tuners, high-order tuning is necessary in order to avoid the effect of terms due to initial conditions on the output error. This constitutes a strong motivation for the use of high-order tuners in adaptive control which so far, were considered as more complicated alternatives to the classical first-order tuners. The proposed controller also provides robustness enhancement in the presence of bounded disturbances and/or a class of unmodeled dynamics or in the event of an adaptation switch-off end, as in classical model reference adaptive control, guarantees the exponential convergence of all errors to zero in the presence of sufficiently exciting reference inputs.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Using this method, a constrained multibody system is treated as a group of free bodies moving under the constraint forces as well as external driving forces. Therefore the representation of system dynamics is very simple. A convergent iteration process is proposed for computing the constraint forces. This process can be deduced from Gauss Principle of Least Constraint. It not only minimizes the constraint forces in the sense of LSQ, but also vanishes system constraint error. Hence the motion obtained must be the actual one, and the stabilization of constraints is achieved in a fairly natural way.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Computationally involved and large storage demanding algorithms for solving several systems modeling problems can be conveniently reformulated such that they perform exclusively on the low order subsystems corresponding to the individual terms of suitable additive decompositions. Important reductions of both the computational effort and required memory usually by using the reformulated algorithms and thus, their applicability can be extended to handle higher order systems. The paper presents several algorithms suitable to perform efficiently on additively decomposed systems.

Commercial MATLAB-based software packages implementing a crude approximation to the theory are available [3, 4], but these computer packages address the complex /spl mu/-synthesis problem via a somewhat flawed implementation of the original D-K iteration algorithm which involves the repetition of the following three operations on a suitable augmented closed-loop system transfer function: 1. Optimize a diagonal scaling frequency response matrix D(jw) for a fixed control law K(s). 2. Perform an ad hoc state space curve-fit to D(jw). 3. Use H/sup /spl infin// control to compute a control law K(s) with the diagonal scaling D(s) fixed. The curve-fitting of Step 2 has, until now, been a major obstacle to the realization of the original vision of a completely automated /spl mu/-synthesis procedure for robust control design. This paper describes new theoretical results and how they enable one to bypas the difficult and awkward curve-fitting of Step 2. The result is the first reliable computational algorithm for /spl mu/-synthesis controller design. The technique has been implemented on MATLAB.
