Adaptive control in the presence of input constraints

This paper deals with the problem of adaptively controlling a linear time-invariant plant in the presence of constraints on the input amplitude. We introduce a new adaptive algorithm which ensures that the plant can be locally stabilized. In addition to the standard assumptions which are required for adaptive control in the ideal case, an upper bound on the plant control parameter is required to be known. The results are evaluated by simulation studies.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
