A study of adaptation of multiple actuating signals for LTI systems

This paper presents an adaptive scheme to adjust the gains of multiple actuating signals, as combined with an adaptive state feedback control law, for linear time-invariant single-output systems. Adaptation of multiple actuating signals makes it possible to relax some critical design conditions for desired system performance. A controller parametrization and a plant-model matching structure are derived. As an illustrative example, a simulation study is carried out for adaptive cooperative control of aircraft ailerons and rudder for desired lateral motion of tracking a reference trajectory
