EL2620 Nonlinear Control 7.5 credits

The course treats control theory for nonlinear dynamic systems:

• analysis of input-output stability by means of e.g. the small gain theorem and the circle criterion
• analysis of stability of equilibrium points through linearization and Lyapunov methods
• analysis of stability for passive systems
• design and analysis of feedback control for nonlinear systems through linearization, feedback linearization and Lyapunov based methods
• design and analysis of high gain feedback, e.g. sliding mode control
• observers for nonlinear systems
• setpoint regulation control and setpoint tracking
• simulation of nonlinear dynamic models.

After passing the course, the student shall be able to

• formulate theory and definitions of important concepts in nonlinear control systems
• apply theory and methods within nonlinear control.

Knowledge in automatic control 6 higher education credits equivalent to completed course EL1000/EL1010/EL1110/EL1120.

Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in LADOK is considered equivalent to completion of the course.

Registering for a course is counted as active participation.

The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INLA - Homework, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• INLB - Home work, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TENT - Written exam, 2.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.
