A previous course in discrete mathematics or discrete-event systems. Some knowledge of elementary logic and set theory is recommended. This course covers the basic theory of nonlinear control systems with an emphasis on analysis issues. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with analysis tools that are used in a variety or real world applications and will prepare them for a nonlinear control design course. ECE 1648S - Nonlinear Control System Design Course presents several methods used to design controllers for systems described by nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
Stability is analyzed rigorously.
Examples are drawn from robotics, mechanics, process control, etc. Click here for more information . The subject has grown rapidly since the early 1980s and is now a major research field. Techniques exist for both 1-dimensional and multidimensional signals and one successful application has been to image compression, including fingerprints. Click here for more information .
