Adaptive Control Systems by Chalam, V. V., Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Featuring consistent terminology, and compatible notation and emphasizing unified strategies, this book provides a comprehensive, integrated account of basic concepts, analytical tools, algorithms, and a wide variety of application trends and techniques. Also highlights a large number of practical applications in a range of fields from electrical to biomedical and aerospace engineering and includes coverage of industrial robots. The bibliography provides over 1, 200 references to the literature. The book is addressed to three primary audiences. It serves as a research monograph for researchers, as a reference work for engineers, and as an advanced- level textbook for graduate students. Readers are required to have a mathematical knowledge of linear and nonlinear control systems, discrete-time control, optimal control and stochastic processes. Familiarity with microprocessor applications will be helpful to readers. An essential acquisition for all into this aspect of engineering and for the libraries which serve them.
