Linear Systems

Catalog description

This course is designed to introduce graduate students to the fundamental state space concepts needed for the analysis and design of linear systems. Modeling, analysis, and design of continuous-time control systems using the state space approach will be covered. Other topics involve Vector spaces, linear operators, and linear equation solution theory are used to describe system solutions and their stability, controllability, and observability properties. State observers and state feedback control will be developed, along with an introduction to linear quadratic optimal control.
