Adaptive Output-Feedback Control of MIMO Plants with Unknown, Time-Varying State Delay

Paper i proceeding, 2008

In this paper, we develop a simple model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme for a class of multi-inputmulti-output (MIMO) linear dynamic systems with unknown time-varying state delay which is also robust with respect to an external disturbance with unknown bound. A suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii type functional with “virtual” gain is introduced to design the adaptation algorithms and to prove stability.
