On the generalized truncated least squares adaptive algorithm and two-stage design method with application to adaptive control

This paper presents a generalized truncated least, squares adaptive algorithm and a two-stage design method. The proposed algorithm is directly derived from the normal equation of the generalized truncated least squares method (GTLSM). The special case of the GTLSM, the truncated least squares (TLS) adaptive algorithm, has a distinct features which includes the case of minimum steps estimator. This algorithm seemed to be best in the deterministic case. For real applications in the presence of disturbances, the GTLS adaptive algorithm is more effective. The two-stage design method proposed here combines the adaptive control system design with a conventional control design method and each can be treated independently. Using this method, the validity of the presented algorithms are examined by the simulation studies of an indirect adaptive control.
