Dynamical Systems 2022-05-03 v1

Abstract

In this note a new high performance least squares parameter estimator is proposed. The main features of the estimator are: (i) global exponential convergence is guaranteed for all identifiable linear regression equations; (ii) it incorporates a forgetting factor allowing it to preserve alertness to time-varying parameters; (iii) thanks to the addition of a mixing step it relies on a set of scalar regression equations ensuring a superior transient performance; (iv) it is applicable to nonlinearly parameterized regressions verifying a monotonicity condition and to a class of systems with switched time-varying parameters; (v) it is shown that it is bounded-input-bounded-state stable with respect to additive disturbances; (vi) continuous and discrete-time versions of the estimator are given. The superior performance of the proposed estimator is illustrated with a series of examples reported in the literature.
