Abstract :
We present three applications of adaptive λ-tracking that show the suitability of this control method for industrial process control problems. The λ-tracker is a simple design/low complexity adaptive controller that is universal in the sense, that no process model or plant tests are required for the controller design. Furthermore, the controller exhibits remarkable robustness properties. We briefly review the theory of adaptive λ-tracking, and discuss advantages and shortcomings of this method
