Absiraci-Adaptive control systems can be classified according to the response time of the adaptive loop T, relative to that of the main servo loop T,. The response time T, cannot be smaller than the time needed for making the required measurement on which the adjustments are based.In a slow adaptive system, T,>>T,, and the adjustments are made according to the estimated situation (statistical parameters of the inputs changing plant parameters, etc.) or the estimated performance (error, cost, intermediate parameters
etc.). If T,<>T, and T,<
