In this talk, we will discuss a new approach to address the removal of time-scale separation in the design of extremum-seeking controllers for unknown non-linear dynamical systems.  A proportional integral extremum seeking controller design approach is proposed to minimize the impacts of time-separation on the transient performance of control systems. The application of the proportional-integral approach to feedback stabilization and observer design will be discussed.
