Switching adaptive output-feedback control of nonlinearly parametrized systems

In this paper, we consider global adaptive output-feedback control of nonlinear systems in output-feedback form, with unknown parameters entering nonlinearly. Such unknown parameters are not required to lie in a known compact set. Our proposed adaptive output-feedback controller is a switching-type controller, in which the controller parameter is tuned in a switching manner via a switching logic. Global stability results of the closed-loop system have been proved.
