Adaptive wavelet control of nonlinear systems

This paper considers the design and analysis of adaptive wavelet control algorithms for uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems. The Lyapunov synthesis approach is used to develop a state-feedback adaptive control scheme based on nonlinearly parametrized wavelet network models. Semi-global stability results are obtained under the key assumption that the system uncertainty satisfies a "matching" condition. The localization properties of adaptive networks are discussed and formal definitions of interference and localization measures are proposed.
