Generalization of Proportional Adaptation Law for L1 Adaptive Controller

The paper presents a generalized framework for an L-1 adaptive state-feedback controller with proportional adaptation gain. Using the decoupling property for estimation and control loops of the L-1 adaptive controller, we show that this generalized architecture has the potential of unifying several nonlinear control methods in a single framework. In all cases, the proposed controller, similar to other L-1 controllers, offers systematic tuning of robustness and performance bounds, by increasing the adaptation gain and careful selection of the lowpass filter. Simulations verify the theoretical findings.
