1. A method for an engine, comprising: during operation of the engine: learning a first set of engine actuator settings, including current positions or timings of engine actuators, while operating at boundary conditions of a speed-load map and adaptively adjusting the learned first set of engine actuator settings to provide a desired engine output; generating a dynamic node look-up table (DLUT) based on the adaptively adjusted first set of engine actuator settings; determining a second set of engine actuator settings for operation at non-boundary conditions of the speed-load map from the DLUT and not learning and adaptively adjusting the second set of engine actuator settings; and controlling engine actuators to the second set of engine actuator settings during operation of the engine at the non-boundary conditions.
