We study the controllability of the Bloch equation, for an ensemble of non interacting half-spins, in a static magnetic field, with dispersion in the Larmor frequency. This system may be seen as a prototype for infinite dimensional bilinear…
This paper conducts a comprehensive study of a classical adaptive control problem: adaptive control of a state-space plant model: $\dot{x}(t) = A x(t) + B u(t)$ in continuous time, or $x(t+1) = A x(t) + B u(t)$ in discrete time, for state…

Lyapunov stability theory is the bedrock of direct adaptive control. Fundamentally, Lyapunov stability requires constructing a distance-like function which must decrease with time to ensure stability. Feedback linearization, backstepping,…
