This course covers the fundamentals of the design of controllers for nonlinear dynamic systems. Topics include Lyapunov Theory, Describing Functions, Feedback Linearization, Sliding Mode Control, as well as several Adaptive Control Techniques. The course will provide the theatrical background necessary to design and analyze nonlinear controllers while grounding the theory with practical, physical applications.
Course Prerequisite(s)
A course in Differential Equations (Nonlinear would be helpful, but not required) and EN.525.666 Linear System Theory.
