Course description:
The aim of this course is to introduce the student to the area of
nonlinear control systems, that is control systems characterized by the
presence of a nonlinear element, which can either be the system under control
or the controller itself, including sensors and actuators.
Some classical as well as modern analysis and controller design methods
for nonlinear systems will be covered so as to enable the student to appreciate
the diversity of phenomena that arise in nonlinear systems and to address a
significant class of analysis and control design problems in a nonlinear
context.
The course comprises lectures and specific sessions with numerical
examples.
It is structured in two parts, the first one dealing with analysis and
the second one with design.
Part 1: Analysis of nonlinear feedback systems
- absolute stability of Lur’e systems
- switching systems stability
- input-output stability
- passivity-based analysis
- existence and stability of periodic oscillations
Part 2: Nonlinear control design
- variable structure control
- feedback linearization
- switching control
