Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory and Application, Volume 25: System Identification and Adaptive Control, Part 1 of 3 deals with system parameter identification and adaptive control. It presents useful techniques for effective stochastic adaptive control systems. This book discusses multicriteria optimization in adaptive and stochastic control systems. After discussing how to estimate the parameters of an autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) process, it identifies instrumental variable methods for ARMA models. This book also presents robust algorithms for adaptive control; design principles for robustness in adaptive identification methods; utilization of robust smoothing; and order reduction of linear systems. This volume is a useful reference for control systems theorists and practitioners interested in system identification and adaptive control techniques.
