Extremum Seeking is Stable for Scalar Maps that are Strictly but Not Strongly Convex
Patrick McNamee, Miroslav KrstiÄ, Zahra Nili Ahmadabadi
For a map that is strictly but not strongly convex, model-based gradient extremum seeking has an eigenvalue of zero at the extremum, i.e., it fails at exponential convergence. Inte…

Adaptive Extremum Seeking Control via the RMSprop Optimizer
Patrick McNamee, Zahra Nili Ahmadabadi
Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) is a well-known set of continuous time algorithms for model-free optimization of a cost function. One issue for ESCs is the convergence rates of para…
