Direct adaptive control for a mutli-compartmental model of a pressure-limited respirator and lung mechanics system

In this paper, we develop an adaptive control framework for a multi-compartmental model of a pressure-limited respirator and lung mechanics system. Specifically, we develop a model reference direct adaptive controller framework where the plant and reference model involve switching and time-varying dynamics. We then apply the proposed adaptive feedback controller framework to stabilize a given limit cycle corresponding to a clinically plausible respiratory pattern.
