                Abstract: 
                In this paper, the convergence of parameter estimates and the interactions among the two adaptive fuzzy systems constituting an indirect adaptive fuzzy controller are studied, both analytically and by means of simulations with a second-order nonlinear system. The analytical results and the simulations, performed with various initial conditions and learning rates, highlight how the interactions affect the behavior of the adaptive control scheme with regard to the control performance in terms of a tracking error, accuracy and relevance of the identified fuzzy models.
