An adaptive controller that simultaneously decouples the system and assigns its closed-loop poles is derived. This controller is of the ’hybrid’ type and consists of a continuous-time control law, the parameters of which are updated using a discrete-time identification algorithm. Convergence and strong consistency results are derived for the identification algorithm and used to demonstrate that the adaptive control law does indeed produce a stable decoupled closed-loop system with correctly assigned poles." The derivation of the controller and the proofs are formal (with respect to handling white noise), and the main result - decoupling, correct pole assignment and stability - uses ultimate boundedness of the noise. rv: W.Kliemann
