Course Description and Objectives:
This course intends to provide the basic background on mathematical systems theory and apply it in the analysis and control of linear systems. First, we start with the mathematical analysis by introducing vector spaces and linear operators. Then, the linear algebra and matrix theory are covered. With this background the transfer function and state variable representations of linear systems are introduced. The state space analysis of linear systems is discussed in details and the following topics will be covered: Controllability and observability, Stability, Realization, Canonical forms, State feedback and observer design. The major objective of the course is to provide the students with an understanding of the basic mathematical structure used in the analysis of linear dynamical systems. Consequently, the students should be able to apply these results for the basic design of linear control systems. The students have the opportunity to solve computer-aided problems using MATLAB and SIMULINK. Course Outline and Schedule
