Adaptive systems based on competitive quality criteria

The paper discusses new principle of the organization of the adaptive system. It is based on the use of two quality criteria, which are changed for the worse as a result of the increment in the adjustable parameters in the different directions. Namely, if the increase of this parameter leads to deterioration of one of the criteria, it must lead to an improvement in another criterion. The combined effect of the two adaptation mechanisms should lead to the establishment of equilibrium or small fluctuations around the equilibrium state of adjustable parameters. If the second criterion is missing or can not be measured, it can be used factor of the time instead of it. For example, if the only criterion tends to reduce the adjustable parameters, then with the passage of some time, gradual or stepwise increase of this parameter should occur. The paper also gives practical example of a system based on this principle.
