Abstract :
Adaptive control problems are frequently considered from a purely theoretical point of view. Here, an attempt has been made to apply hill-climbing methods to the control of four small-scale practical systems. The hill-climbing methods are the perturbation method and a simpler ´ no-perturbation´ method developed by the author.
