Contents

From [MAT-82-15-K-7] Nonlinear Control Theory:
Methods of control for nonlinear systems, especially:
  • stability of nonlinear systems, Lyapunov theory, comparison functions, input-to-state stability (ISS),
  • linearization and normal forms of nonlinear systems,
  • various control concepts, e.g. backstepping, predictive control, sliding mode control, flatness-basedcontrol,
  • nonlinear observers.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students are familiar with and understand the fundamental concepts of nonlinear control theory. They are able to name the essential propositions of the lecture as well as to classify and to explain the connections. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can critically assess, what conditions are necessary for the validity of the statements.

By completing specific exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and techniques taught in the lecture. They have learnt how to apply these techniques to new problems, analyze them and develop solution strategies.
