ADAPTIVE OPTIMAL OUTPUT FEEDBACK CONTROL

A practical and robust control scheme is suggested for MIMO discrete time processes with real simple poles. This type of control scheme, having the advantages of both the adaptiveness and optimality, may be successfully applicable to structured dynamic controllers for plants whose parameters are slowly time-varying. The identification of the process parameters is under-taken in ARMA form and the optimization of the feedback gain matrix is performed in the state space representation with regard to a standard quadratic criterion.
