Abstract

This chapter presents essential concepts for the now-classical model reference adaptive control. We begin with motivational examples from aerospace applications, followed by basic definitions, and a brief description of control-theoretic tools for the design and analysis of state feedback adaptive controllers that are applicable to an aircraft-like general class of multi-input multi-output systems. Our primary goal here is to motivate, introduce, and outline the material that will be discussed in the remainder of the book.
