            Abstract : 
A robust adaptive control law for multivariable nonlinear systems is presented. All constant parameters that can be linearly parametrized in the input-output dynamic equation are adaptively estimated, and uncertainties in all the other terms are accounted for by appropriate choice of sliding gains. Appropriate projection rules are developed to ensure invertibility of the input-output dynamics.
