A4303-Modern Control Theory

This document contains questions for an exam on modern control theory. It asks students to: 1) Construct a state model from a differential equation and derive the solution to non-homogeneous state equations. 2) Define controllability and observability using the Kalman test, and test for these properties in a given system. 3) Explain different types of nonlinearities like dead-zone and saturation, and derive the describing function for them. 4) Construct phase trajectories using isoclines and describe singular points like stable and unstable nodes using phase portraits.
