Description/Abstract

We consider the construction of adaptive controllers for minimum phase linear systems which achieve non-zero robustness margins in the sense of the (linear) $L^2[0,\infty)$ gap metric. The gap perturbations may be more constrained for larger disturbances and for larger parametric uncertainty. Working within the framework of the nonlinear gap metric [3], universal adaptive controllers are first given achieving this goal for first order plants, and the results are then generalised to relative degree one, minimum phase plants.
