MRAC is derived from the model following problem or model reference control (MRC) problem.

INTRODUCTION

Structure of an MRC scheme

MRC Objective

The MRC objective is met if up is chosen so that the closed-loop transferfunction from r to yp has stable poles and is equal to Wm(s), the transferfunction of the reference model.

When the transfer function is matched, for any reference input signal r(t), the plant output yp converges to ym exponentially fast.

If G is known, design C such that

The plant model is to be minimum phase, i.e., have stable zeros.

The design of C( ) requires the knowledge of the coefficients of the planttransfer function G(s).

If is a vector containing all the coefficients of G(s) = G(s; ), then the parameter vector may be computed by solving an algebraic equation of the form = F( )

The MRC objective to be achieved if the plant model has to be minimum phase and its parameter vector has to be known exactly.

MODEL REFERENCE CONTROL

When is unknown, the MRC scheme cannot be implemented because cannot be calculated and is, therefore, unknown.

One way of dealing with the unknown parameter case is to use the certainty equivalence approach to replace the unknown in the control law with its estimate obtained using the direct or the indirect approach.

The resulting control schemes are known as MRAC and can be classified asindirect MRAC and direct MRAC.

Assumptions

Consider the previous system, satisfying assumptions with relative degree being one. If the control input and the adaptation law are chosen as per Lyapunov theorem, then there exists >0 such that for belongs [0, ] all signals inside the closed loop system are bounded and the tracking error will converge to zero asymptotically

Theorem 1: Global stability, robustness and asymptotic zero tracking performance

Theorem 2: Finite time zero tracking performance with high gain design

Consider the previous system, satisfying assumptions with relative degree being one. If then the output tracking error will converge to zero in finite time with all signals inside the closed loop system remaining bounded.

• NOTE: MIT rule does not guarantee error convergence or stability

• usually kept small

• Tuning crucial to adaptation rate and stability.

MIT Rule - Remarks

1. Several Problems were encountered in the usage of the MIT rule.

2. Also, it was not possible in general to prove closed loop stability, or convergence of the output error to zero.

3. A new way of redesigning adaptive systems using Lyapunov theory was proposed by Parks.

4. This was based on Lyapunov stability theorems, so that stable and provably convergent model reference schemes were obtained.

5. The update laws are similar to that of the MIT Rule, with the sensitivity functions replaced by other functions.

6. The theme was to generate parameter adjustment rule which guarantee stability
