On nonlinear adaptive control systems independent of the degree of the process

New design methods for constructing nonlinear adaptive control system are considered. The proposed adaptive controllers are applicable to the case where the degree of the controlled process is unknown. It is shown that the degree of the controller is determined independently of the degree of the process. Several types of nonlinear functions are introduced to deal with uncertainties of the degree of the process. Finally, some simulation results show the effectiveness and simplicity of the proposed methods.
