This course provides lectures on theory and application of nonlinear and adaptive control systems. Methods of on-line parameter identification and adaptive control for nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters are discussed. To this end, Lyapunov stability theory and Lyapunov functions for general nonlinear systems are examined in the first part of the course.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Examine existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear differential equations
2) Understand the notion of Lyapunov stability theory and dissipation theory
3) Characterize passivity and nonexpansivity analogous to positive real and bounded real systems
4) Develop adaptive control laws for linear uncertain systems
Existence and uniqueness of solutions of differential equations, Lyapunov stability, Lyapunov functions, Lyapunov equations, Dissipativity, Storage functions, Supply rate, passivity and nonexpansivity, positive real and bounded real systems, KYP equations, Absolute stability theory, Adaptive Control
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
At the beginning of each class, some of the important points learned in the previous class are reviewed. Then the main topics for the day are explained in detail. Students are advised to solve exercise problems at home.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | Nonlinear dynamical system (I): Existence and uniqueness of solutions | Characterize sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions, Lipschitz continuity |
Class 2 | Nonlinear dynamical system (II): Lyapunov's stability theory | Learn the definition of Lyapunov stability and understand the Lyapunov functions |
Class 3 | Nonlinear dynamical system (III): Dissipativity theory | Understand the notion of dissipativity, passivity, and nonexpansivity |
Class 4 | Positive real and bounded real equations and KYP equations | Understand the correspondence between passive/nonexpansive systems and positive real/bounded real systems |

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
