Regression Filtration with Resetting to Provide Exponential Convergence of MRAC for Plants with Jump Change of Unknown Parameters

This paper proposes a new method to provide the exponential convergence of both the parameter and tracking errors of the composite adaptive control system without the persistent excitation (PE) requirement. Instead, the derived composite adaptive law ensures the above-mentioned properties under the strictly weaker finite excitation (FE) condition. Unlike known solutions, in addition to the PE requirement relaxation, it provides better transient response under jump change of the plant uncertainty parameters. To derive such an adaptive law, a novel scheme of uncertainty filtration with resetting is proposed, which provides the required properties of the control system. A rigorous proof of all mentioned properties of the developed adaptive law is presented. Such law is compared with the known composite ones, which also relax the PE requirement, using the wing-rock problem to conduct numerical experiments. The obtained results fully support the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method.

Exponentially stable adaptive control. Part I. Time-invariant plants

In this research we consider linear time-invariant plants and assume that the regressor finite excitation requirement is met. In such case, a new law to adjust the controller parameters, which ensures the exponential stability of the classical dynamic model of the tracking error under the condition that its states are not included in such a law, is proposed in this study. In addition, it also relaxes a number of classical assumptions and requirements of the adaptive control theory, i.e. the necessity to know the sign/value of the plant high-frequency gain, the need of experimentally based choice of the proposed law adaptive gain value, the requirement to the tracking error transfer function to be strictly positive real considering the output feedback control. The applicability of the proposed law to the problems of adaptive state and output feedback control is shown. The advantages of the proposed method over the well-known ones are demonstrated.

Exponential Convergence of Piecewise-Constant Parameters Identification under Finite Excitation Condition

A problem of identification of piecewise-constant unknown parameters of a linear regression equation (LRE) is considered. Such parameters change their values over the interval of the regressor finite (rather than persistent) excitation. To solve it, the previously proposed I-DREM procedure and the integral-based filtering method with the exponential forgetting and resetting are improved: the integral of the filter equations is taken over the finite time intervals, which belong to the finite excitation time range. This allows one to obtain an exponentially bounded identification error over the excitation interval, and, when the LRE parameters are constant outside such interval, to provide exponential convergence of the identification error to zero. In addition, the applied method of the regressor excitation normalization makes it possible to obtain the same rate of convergence of the parameter error for the regressors of various amplitudes. The stability and all the above-mentioned properties are proved for the derived identification method. The results of numerical experiments (including the case of the noise-contaminated regressor and output measurements) fully support the obtained theoretical results.

Normalization of regressor excitation as a part of dynamic regressor extension and mixing procedure

The method of excitation normalization of the regressor, which is used in the estimation loop to solve the plant identification problem, is proposed. It is based on the dynamic regressor extension and mixing procedure. Its application allows to obtain the same upper bound of the parameter identification error for the scalar regressors with different excitation level, using a constant value of the adaptation rate for all of them. This fact is a significant advantage from the practical point of view. Comparison of the developed method with the known one of the regressor amplitude normalization is conducted. It is shown that the classical approach does not have the above-stated property. To validate the theoretical conclusions made, the results of the comparative mathematical modeling of three loops are presented: 1) the classical gradient one, 2) the one with the normalization of the regressor amplitude, 3) the proposed one with the normalization of the regressor excitation.

I-DREM MRAC with Time-Varying Adaptation Rate & No A Priori Knowledge of Control Input Matrix Sign to Relax PE Condition

The known dynamic regressor extension and mixing method (DREM) is combined with the proposed filter of a new type, which uses the integration operation with forgetting, and the recursive least-squares method to develop the new I-DREM model reference adaptive control (MRAC) system. It does not require a priori knowledge of the sign or the elements values of the control input matrix of the plant. It also provides the exponential convergence of the adaptation process (with the automatically adjustable adaptation rate) without the regressor persistent excitation. Such control system allows to solve three actual problems of the adaptive control: 1) to provide the exponential convergence of the controller parameter error under the condition of the regressor initial excitation, 2) to make such convergence monotonic, 3) to calculate the adaptation rate online according to the current regressor value. Some numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust method to provide exponential convergence of model parameters solving LTI plant identification problem

The scope of this research is a problem of parameters identification of a linear time-invariant (LTI) plant, which 1) input signal is not frequency-rich, 2) is subjected to initial conditions and external disturbances. The memory regressor extension (MRE) scheme, in which a specially derived differential equation is used as a filter, is applied to solve the above-stated problem. Such a filter allows us to obtain a limited regressor value, for which a condition of the initial excitation (IE) is met. Using the MRE scheme, the recursive least-squares (RLS) method with the forgetting factor is used to derive an adaptation law. The following properties have been proved for the proposed approach. If the IE condition is met, then: 1) the parameter error of identification is a limited value and converges to zero exponentially (if there are no external disturbances) or to a bounded set (in the case of them) with an adjustable rate, 2) the parameters adaptation rate is a finite value. The above-mentioned properties are mathematically proved and demonstrated via simulation experiments.
