Abstract
In practical control problems, it is often desirable to make plant output follow some reference output without overshoot. A few papers have reported the design methods which guarantees no overshoot for known plants. In this paper, a design of model reference adaptive control systems with no overshoot is proposed for linear discrete-time plants. In this design, a bounded region called parameter region, in which unknown plant parameters exist, is assumed to be known. An algorithm to reduce the parameter region is also given and used in the design. The usefulness of the proposed method is confirmed by experiments using a DC servo motor system.
