COURSE DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this course is to present fundamentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems. Topics to be covered consist of:
Overview of nonlinear system analysis: a. Existence and uniqueness of solutions to ODEs, solution behaviors, b. Equilibriums, basic stability definitions, c. Controllability, Accessibility, Stabilizability. Geometric approach: a. Lie algebra, diffeomorphism, distributions, integrability, invariance b. Local decomposition of nonlinear systems, local accessibility and observability, c. Controlled invariant distributions and disturbance decoupling, d. Feedback linearization: state and output linearization, zero dynamics, MIMO case*, e. Nonlinear observers. Lyapunov stability theory: a. Stability criteria, local-global convergence, invariance results, region of attraction, b. Robustness analysis, vanishing and non-vanishing perturbations, input-to-state and input-output stability, passivity, absolute stability*, c. Back-stepping design, adaptive control. _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ GRADING: 1. Assignments: 10% 2.
