The aim of the course is to provide an introduction for
mathematically interested students to
control and system theory for deterministic dynamic systems.
Both linear and nonlinear dynamic systems in finite-dimensional
vector spaces will be treated in an integrated manner.
Concepts and theorems of control and system theory are used
for control and signal processing problems
which arise in engineering, physics, biology, economics,
and mathematical finance.
Knowledge of linear algebra and differential equations is recommended.
Knowledge of the course Mathematical System Theory (WD031)
or equivalent is useful but not required.
See the page,
Lecture program.
-
Written exam
-
Homeworksets with exercises.
Weekly homeworksets will be handed out in class every week.
Solutions to homeworksets are due at the lecturer one week after
they have been handed out but contact the lecturer
in case you cannot meet this due date.
-
The course grade is based for 70% on the written exam
and for the other 30% on the solutions to homeworksets.
