The course is about system-theoretic and control aspects of the effect of time delays on linear control systems. The following subjects will be covered:
The course is open for all PhD students and gives 7.5 ECTS credits. Knowledge of basic linear finite-dimensional systems theory (transfer functions, frequency response, convolution, state-space realizations, stability, system norms, LQG/H2, etcetera) is expected.
Grading: based entirely on homework solutions. There will be 6 (or, maybe, 5) homework assignments, graded on a scale of 0 to 100. To pass the course, the grade of each assignment must be at least eπ (implying that the submission is compulsory) and the average grade of 5 (or 4) best solutions must be at least 67. Solutions should be submitted electronically in PDF (typeset, not a scan of a handwritten text) to .
Grades can be seen here.
The classes will be held on Wednesdays in Seminarierummet (M2498), starting October 24. Tutorial sessions are scheduled to the 10:15-12:00 slot, lectures—to the 15:15-17:00 slot. During the first week, both slots will be filled with lectures.
Special schedules: the 15:15-17:00 classes of November 28 and December 5 are moved to the 8:15-10:00 schedule. On November 28 the location is still Seminarierummet, whereas all lectures of December 5 (including 10:15-12:00) will be held in Konferensrummet, 1167B.
