Robust stability of a continuous‐time self‐tuning controller

A continuous-time self-tuning controller, based on the well-known discrete-time generalized minimum-variance self-tuning controller, is introduced. Using input—output stability methods, frequency domain conditions are derived which ensure L∞ stability in the face of multiplicative process perturbations. The analysis is illustrated using an example of Rohrs et al.
