A design algorithm for self-improving nonstationary dynamic systems using adaptive coordinate-parametric control

The article considers the class of self-improving dynamic systems that, functioning under conditions of nonstationarity with failures and element aging, are capable of assessing the external operating conditions and the degree of functional readiness, while at the same time raising the degree of readiness to the maximum attainable on the current time interval. Concurrently, the system estimates the reactability of the goals that can be accomplished at the current instant and activates the control strategy to achieve the highest-priority goal among the reachable goals. The principle of adaptive coordinate-parametric control is applied to design self-improving dynamic systems. © 2000 Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.
