Abstract

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adaptive control which does not require a predetermined model of the process to be controlled. The method comprises the steps of 1) setting an initial state vector; 2) setting an initial parameter vector; 3) setting an initial prediction parameter gain between 2 and 10; 4) set the initial covariance matrix; 5) performing a state update 6) estimating the model error; 7) updating the parameter vector, 8) updating the co-variance matrix, and 9) updating the controller output.
