Incremental model reference adaptive polynomial controller network

Abstract

The Incremental Model Reference Adaptive Polynomial Controllers Network (IMRAPCN) is a self-organizing non-linear controller. This algorithm consists of a Polynomial Controllers Network (PCN) and an Incremental Network Construction (INC). The PCN is a network of polynomial controllers each one being valid for a different operating region of the system. The use of polynomial controllers reduces significantly the number of controllers required to control a non linear system while improving the control accuracy, and the whole, without any drawbacks since polynomials are `linear in parameters functions'. Such a control system can be used for the control of a possibly discontinuous non linear sys..
