Abstract
The purpose of this work is to investigate more fully the characteristics of "adaptive control" systems. A "learning" model is studied, which has the capability of adjusting its parameters to match those of the system being controlled. Particular emphasis is given to the problem of stability. In the introduction the philosophy of the "second method" of Lyapunov is used to indicate under what conditions the adaptive loop will be stable. Another area of concern is the performance of the system when subjected to non-deterministic of random inputs. The particular input used is prefiltered white noise.
