Application of a Vector Cost Function to Adaptive Control Systems Without Plant Identification

Abstract

<p>The proposed Vector Cost Function technique for adaptive control of an unknown plant is investigated. The mathematical background of this algorithm is presented, and then the technique is applied to two second order plants, an over-damped one and an under-damped one, whose step responses are require. Also, the vector cost function parameters which affect the adapted responses of the plants are investigated, and finally the conclusions arrived at are presented.</p>
