When an adaptive algorithm is placed inside a feedback loop, the potential for instability exists. This paper demonstrates that the bursting phenomenon (first encountered by Anderson) is generic to such systems, and is not a unique feature of adaptive control. Points towards possible solutions in the hybrid case.

First demonstration that the bursting of hybrids is due to a bifurcation in the underlying adaptive system. Chaotic dynamics revealed. Argues that this is the cause of bursting in virtually all adaptive systems where the adaptive element lies inside a feedback loop.
