2243035 – Advanced Methods in Nonlinear Control

The module covers selected advanced methods in nonlinear control of finite-dimensional systems that directly exploit the nonlinear system dynamics and result in control concepts relevant for different applications. This includes in particular Lyapunov theory and Lyapunov-based design methods, disspativity and passivity-based control concepts, as well as input-to-state stability. Problem sets are considered in the exercises to apply the developed methods using analytical tools as well as computer algebra systems to realize the design approaches.
