Globally convergent adaptive pole assignment for a class of non-minimum-phase stochastic systems

A key difficulty of the explicit approach to self-tuning control—both theoretically and computationally—is the need to solve a polynomial identity to generate the required controller coefficients. For systems with uncorrelated output noise, however, the identity has a simple solution, and in this paper the implications of this phenomenon are discussed in relation to self-tuning regulation. A suitable explicit algorithm is introduced, and it is shown that, under certain conditions, global stability and system identifiability can be established without recourse to sophisticated estimator management techniques.
