Abstract
The paper identifies three fundamental problems in adaptive control: the need to work with models of plants which may be very accurate but are virtually never exact; the inability to know, given an unknown plant, whether a desired control objective is practical or impractical, and the possibility of transient instability, or extremely large signals occurring before convergence. A technique is advanced for addressing these problems based on controller adjustment limited by Vinnicombe metric considerations.
