PhD course on Nonlinear Control, (FRT025F)
The course is open for all PhD students and gives 7.5 ECTS credits.
The goal of the course is to provide good knowledge and practice the
ability to use classical as well as modern analysis and design methods for
nonlinear control systems.
Lyapunov theory for autonomous and time-varying systems,
Small-gain theory, Absolute stability, Integral quadratic constraints, Pas-
sivity, Center manifold theorem, Stability of periodic and perturbed sys-
tems, Averaging, Singular perturbations, Geometric control theory, Feed-
back linearization, Nonlinear design tools (backstepping, high gain con-
trol)
