Parameter Identification With Finite-Convergence Time Alertness Preservation

In this letter note we present two new parameter identifiers whose estimates converge in finite time under weak interval excitation assumptions. The main novelty is that, in contrast with other finite-convergence time (FCT) estimators, our schemes preserve the FCT property when the parameters change. The previous versions of our FCT estimators can track the parameter variations only asymptotically. Continuous-time and discrete-time versions of the new estimators are presented.
