About The Book

Adaptive Control by Karl J. Astrom is a comprehensive and insightful text that introduces both the theoretical and practical aspects of adaptive control. This second edition is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, making it an ideal resource for anyone looking to gain a solid understanding of the key techniques in adaptive control and when to apply them effectively.

The book begins with a broad overview of the subject, providing a clear framework for understanding adaptive control. Topics covered include real-time estimation, self-tuning regulators, model-reference adaptive systems, and stochastic adaptive control. The text also delves into automatic tuning of regulators, gain scheduling, robust high-gain control, and self-oscillating controllers, offering readers a diverse set of tools for implementing adaptive controllers.

Written by the authors, who are Professors at the Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden, the text draws on their extensive research and teaching experience. It is complemented by numerous examples, simulations, and exercises that reinforce the concepts presented, helping readers develop a deep understanding of the properties, design procedures, and practical implementation of adaptive controllers. The book concludes with a review of applications and related areas, ensuring that readers are well-equipped to tackle real-world adaptive control challenges.
