This book chapter summarizes the three major ways that people analyze adaptive algorithms (the expected value, deterministic averaging, and ODE approaches), and contains applications in several signal processing areas.

[Use of dispersion functions to determine structural properties of nonlinear models, focusing on those which can be described as a static nonlinearity sandwiched between two linear dynamic systems.]
The blind equalization problem attempts system identification without access to the true inputs. This paper asks the question: what are sensible cost functions for blind equalization? Behavioral aspects of these choices are examined.

Application of (real time, adaptive) system identification to the problem of thermal estimation in semiconductors. Replaces a graphical method of thermal design that has been in place since the mid 60's. Conference version of paper wins best paper award at IEEE Industrial Applications Society meeting in 1990.
