This inline, open loop, procedure, involving a contraction mapping, is well suited to compensating systems whose inputs are inaccessible. The present contribution is to add an adaptive capability to the scheme, extending its applicability to systems whose nonlinear parameters are unknown or drifting. Results of computer simulations are presented.53 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
