The use of adaptive fault tolerance in general classes of linear systems

Several recent publications have developed the concept of adaptive fault tolerance (AFT) by demonstrating how adaptive filter architectures and adaptive algorithms can be designed to continue operating effectively in the presence of certain classes of hardware failures. Previous studies limited the use of AFT to one-dimensional FIR filter structures. This paper further develops the concept of AFT for one-dimensional IIR filter structures, demonstrating that indeed AFT can be extended to these more general classes of linear systems.
