Properties of Dynamical Systems
Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:07:32
Abstract
Dynamical systems are mathematical models used to describe reality, from robots to diseases to human decisions. This module covers key concepts such as solutions, equilibria, stability, controllability, and observability—core properties that form the basis for designing controllers that automatically regulate system behavior.
Content
Dynamical systems are essentially mathematical models that are used to describe reality, from robotic arms to infectious diseases to human decision making. In this module, we explore the most important aspects of dynamical systems, such as solutions, equilibria, stability, controllability, and observability. From an practitioner/engineering perspective, all of these properties constitute the fundamental bulding blocks that are used to design automatic controllers, i.e., that automatically regulate the behaviour of the system.
