CONTENTS SCO-31306: Systems & Control Theory

Part I:

1. Introduction: examples of systems, systems in Input/Output or state-space

form, why advanced techniques? [Ogata (2000), Sect. 3.4 (p. 70-74), 3.5 (p. 76-
80)], [Nise (2000), Sect. 3.1-3.4]

2. LTI systems: linearisation [Ogata (2000), Sect. 3.10], [Nise (2000), Sect. 3.7],
solutions of LTI systems [Ogata (2000), Sect. 11.4-11.5], [Nise (2000), Sect.
4.11], stability [Nise (2000), Sect. 6.5].

3. LTI systems: transfer functions, realizations [Ogata (2000), Sect. 3.4 (p. 74-
76), 11.3], [Nise (2000), Sect. 3.5-3.6]

4. System properties: controllability [Ogata (2000), Sect. 11.6], [Nise (2000), Sect.
12.3], observability [Ogata (2000), Sect. 11.7], [Nise (2000), Sect. 12.6],
stabilizable and detectable systems [Ogata (2000), Sect. 11.7].

5. Controller design I: state feedback, pole placement [Ogata (2000), Sect. 12.1-
12.3], [Nise (2000), Sect. 12.2].

6. Controller design I: observers [Nise (2000), Sect. 12.5], separation principle,

dynamic output feedback [Ogata (2000), Sect. 12.5-12.7],.
