The proposed control scheme consists of a nominal feedback law, which achieves robust, global, exponential stability properties when the vector of the parameters is known, in conjunction with a nonlinear, dead-beat observer. The obtained results are applicable to highly nonlinear, uncertain, discrete-time systems with unknown constant parameters. The applicability of the obtained results to real control problems is demonstrated by the rigorous application of the proposed adaptive control scheme to uncertain freeway models. A provided example demonstrates some features of the approach.The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n. 321132, project TRAMAN21. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/275-2822016 European Control ConferenceKarafyllis_et_al_ECC_2016.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2017-11-13application/pdf330.8 kBfree Karafyllis Iason Καραφυλλης Ιασων Kontorinaki Maria Κοντορινακη Μαρια Papageorgiou Markos Παπαγεωργιου Μαρκος European Control Association Uncertain systems Adaptive control Asymptotic stability Discrete time systems Nonlinear control systems Observers Road traffic control
