Extremum Seeking (ES) is Practically Stable Whenever Model-Based ES is Stable
Patrick McNamee, Zahra Nili Ahmadabadi, Mirslav KrstiÄ
Extremum seeking control (ESC) are optimization algorithms in continuous time, with model-based ESCs using true derivative information of the cost function and model-free ESCs util…
