Adaptive Control Systems Consider the example of a combustion control system whose fuel-air ratio is to be set for the highest efficiency. Excess fuel or air will both reduce efficiency. The true controlled variable is efficient, while the true manipulated variable is the fuel air ratio. The desired steady state gain in this instance is dc/dm=0. The system is to be operated at the point where either an increase or decrease in ratio decreases efficiency. This is a special case of steady-state adaption known as optimizing. A gain other than zero may reasonably be stipulated, however.
