Robust parameter adjustment with nonparametric weighted-ball-in-H/sup infinity / uncertainty

Using a parameter adjustment law, robust monotonic parameter error reduction is proved for a linear parameter estimation problem in which the signal is corrupted by the presence of nonparametric dynamical uncertainty. The nonparameterized dynamics are characterized by a known frequency-domain magnitude bound. A nonconservative bound on the finite-time energy of the nonparametric-dynamics output is constructed in real time. When the error single energy is small enough to be due to nonparametric dynamics alone, the parameter adjustment is shut off to avoid misadjustment. The approach is an extension of existing adaptive control error-dead-zone ideas to the case of frequency-domain bounded uncertainty. >
