Modern Control Systems

Catalog description

Introduction to system theory, state variables and state space description to dynamic systems, linear vector space and dependence. Jordan canonical forms, Cayley-Hamilton theorem, system stability, controllability and observability, relation between state-space and transfer function models. A brief introduction to Nonlinear systems, Lyapunov stability theory will be provided. This course will give the basic knowledge for more advanced control courses, such as nonlinear control, robust control, optimal control, adaptive control.
