ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS - IVEN MAREELS JAN WILLEM POLD...

Loosely speaking  adaptive systems are designed to deal with  to adapt to  chang­ ing
environmental conditions whilst maintaining performance objectives. Over the years  the theory
of adaptive systems evolved from relatively simple and intuitive concepts to a complex
multifaceted theory dealing with stochastic  nonlinear and infinite dimensional systems. This
book provides a first introduction to the theory of adaptive systems. The book grew out of a
graduate course that the authors taught several times in Australia  Belgium  and The
Netherlands for students with an engineering and or mathemat­ ics background. When we taught
the course for the first time  we felt that there was a need for a textbook that would
introduce the reader to the main aspects of adaptation with emphasis on clarity of presentation
and precision rather than on comprehensiveness. The present book tries to serve this need. We
expect that the reader will have taken a basic course in linear algebra and mul­ tivariable
calculus. Apart from the basic concepts borrowed from these areas of mathematics  the book is
intended to be self contained.
