Purpose and Content

The aim of the course In practice many systems are nonlinear. The objective of the course is to provide necessary background to understand, analyze and control such systems. These include nonlinear models and nonlinear phenomena; second-order systems, phase portraits; some fundamental properties of nonlinear state equations such as existence, uniqueness; stability analysis (Lyapunov, input-output, passivity); frequency domain analysis; controller design methods for nonlinear systems such as feedback linearization and sliding-mode control.
Course Content Introduction to nonlinear systems and some examples. Second order systems and phase plane. Lyapunov stability. Input-output stability. Passivity. Frequency domain analysis: absolute stability, circle criterion, Popov criterion, describing function method . Nonlinear control systems design: feedback linearization and sliding-mode control.
