Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Nonlinear Differential Systems,Periodic Solutions, Lyapunov Stability Theory, Stability of Invariant Set and Model Reduction, Controllability and Observability of Nonlinear Systems, Feedback Stabilization, Tracking and Regulation, and Other Topics.
Intended learning outcomes
A systematic understanding of nonlinear control systems.
This course gives an overview on nonlinear dynamical systems, presented from systems and control point of view. In this course, both analysis and synthesis techniques will be covered. Thus it is very suitable for students who want to have a basic understanding of nonlinear systems. We plan to cover a range of topics on nonlinear systems such as approximation methods, periodic solutions, Lyapunov stability, controllability and observability, feedback stabilization and output regulation.
Learning activities
This course will be offered in Spring 2021. Lectures are planned to start from some time in February. Please refer to the Canvas course homepage for updates.
Please send an email to hu@kth.se if you are interested in the course.

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
Please inform the course coordinator if you need compensatory support during the course. Present a certificate from Funka.
Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
HEM1 - Home assignment, 1.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
TENH - Home exam, 6.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Homework plus final exam.

Ethical approach
All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
