A biased approach to nonlinear robust stability and

performance with applications to adaptive control

Significance of output:

This paper represents the culmination of work on identifying the appropriate notions of robust stability and performance for adaptive control; whose nonlinear features prevent the applications of the standard approaches. The framework developed encompasses all the recent robustness analyses of adaptive controllers in a principled manner, and gives insight into the appropriate quantification of the trade-off between performance and robustness, which fundamentally differ from the classical LTI setting. The approach formed the framework on which key results leading from the award-winning thesis (2010 IET Best Control and Automation Dissertation Award, supervised by French) were developed.
