Abstract
Linear systems; Laplace transform; transfer functions; transient and steady state responses. PID control; dynamic compensators; Nyquist theorem; robustness margins. State space models; transition matrix; stability; controllability, stabilizability; observability, detectability. LQ-regulator problem; matrix Riccati equations; guaranteed robustness. State observers; output feedback control.
Objective
Understanding dynamics: stability, transient and steady state response. Mastering frequency-domain and time-domain methods for the analysis of dynamic systems and for the design of robust controllers.
