Adaptive Control of Systems with Dead Zones

Abstract
In this paper an adaptive system to control processes affected by dead-zone nonlinearities, based on a nonlinear compensation, has been studied. The adaptive control schemes ensure boundedness of the close-loop signals and reduce the tracking error. <br><br> The main goal was to understand the problem in details, analyzing the different situations and difficulties that this nonlinear compensation might introduce. A simple Lyapunov approach shows boundedness of all the signals, but a further analysis shows that this system might lead to instability. A modification of the control law assures absolute stability to the system, when the only compensator is updated. Furthermore, an analysis of the unstable situation leads to the identification...
