Techniques for analysing adaptive systems are discussed. This includes stability and convergence analysis. It is shown that adaptive control laws can also be obtained from stochastic control theory.

This paper concerns the optimal weighting factors for multiple window spectrogram estimation of different stationary and non-stationary processes. The choice of windows are of course important but the weighting factors in the average of the different spectrograms are as important. The criterion for optimization is the normalized mean square error where the normalization factor is the spectrogrames
