Recursive least squares is touched upon in Ogata, pp 861-863.

@Book{Ogata1987,
  author =	 {Katsuhiko Ogata},
  title = 	 {Discrete-Time Control Systems},
  publisher = 	 {Prentice-Hall},
  year = 	 1987,
  address =	 {Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey}
}

These algorithms are built for speed, not robustness.  They are written
for online real-time systems that might have to solve many of these
identification problems in under a second.  As such, you won't get the
nice features of things like a trimmed least squares (though weighting
is covered in Ogata).

Cheers
