Abstract :
A concept of adaptation for feedback control, which is independent of the internal structure or parametrization of the plant, is introduced. The concept depends on notions of feedback optimality and metric information (entropy). An example is provided in the context of the theory of slowly time-varying systems, which shows that adaptive control can achieve better sensitivity than the optimum for nonadaptive control when information is time-varying
