Abstract :
This paper presents an example in which a flexible mechanical system is controlled by a variable-order adaptive controller. This controller works much better than fixed-order adaptive controllers that have been applied to the system. In the variable-order algorithm the effective plant order is determined adaptively with a lattice filter, which is recursive in order as well as in time.
