Adaptive Dual Control

From the reviews: "The principal aim of this book is to show how to improve the performance of various well-known adaptive controllers using dual adaptive controllers. ... The authors suggest that their book is directed toward practicing design engineers as well as both undergraduate and graduate students of adaptive real-time control." (William J. Satzer jun., Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1061 (12), 2005)
