Nonlinear Control Theory 2017
PhD course on Nonlinear Control, (FRT025F)
Lecturers: Anders Rantzer, Anders Robertsson, Bo Bernhardsson
The course is open for all PhD students and gives 7.5 ECTS credits.
Course description:
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.
With a few exeptions, all lectures and exercise sessions are given in the seminar room at 1315-1500 on Tuesday and Fridays.
Lectures:
- April 4: L1 Nonlinear phenomena and Lyapunov theory (ARa)
- April 11: L2 Absolute stability theory, dissipativity and IQCs (ARa)
- April 19: L3 Density functions and computational methods (ARa)
- April 25: L4 Hybrid systems and dynamic programming (ARa)
- May 2: L5 Relaxed dynamic programming and Q-learning (ARa/Bo)
- May 9: L6 Controllability and Lie brackets (Bo)
- May 16: L7 Synthesis: Exact linearization, backstepping, forwarding (ARo)
- May 30: L8 Student presentations
