The plant to be used is an unstable and nonlinear system. This fact, combined with the adaptive controller characteristics, allows the obtained results to be extended to a great variety of systems. The results show that the above methodology was implemented satisfactorily in terms of estimation, stability and control of such a system. It was established that adaptive techniques have a proper performance even in systems with complex features such as nonlinearity and instability. %K Adaptive control %K parametric identification %K mathematical model %K controllability %K stability %K pole placement control. %U http://itmojs.itm.edu.co/index.php/tecnologicas/article/view/205/205
