            Abstract : 
A time-varying/dynamic compensation strategy for nonlinear systems is proposed which adaptively selects one controller from a parametrized family of Lyapunov-based stabilizing controllers. The purpose of the adaptation is to reduce the value of a given cost functional, but stability is guaranteed regardless of whether or not errors in computing the parameter update preclude such cost reduction. A simulation study illustrates the potential of this adaptive scheme
