An adaptive system for linear systems with unknown parameters is a nonlinear system. The analysis of such adaptive systems requires similar techniques to analysis for nonlinear systems. Therefore it is natural to treat adaptive control as a part of nonlinear control systems.

Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Systems treats nonlinear control and adaptive control in a unified framework, presenting the major results at a moderate mathematical level, suitable to MSc students and engineers with undergraduate degrees. Topics covered include introduction to nonlinear systems; state...
