The problem of optimal robust tracking in two-parameter adaptive control systems under non-linear time-varying unmodelled dynamics is examined. A new robust stability criterion is derived for analysing the robustness of adaptive control systems with non-linear time-varying model errors. Based on the concept of excess robustness and the theory of the minimum H∞norm, a simple and feasible design algorithm is presented to synthesize a two-parameter adaptive controller which ensures that adaptive control systems can achieve the object of optimal robust tracking in the presence of non-linear time-varying unmodelled dynamics. Simulation results that demonstrate features of the two-parameter adaptive controller with optimal robust tracking in the light of the design algorithm are included.
