EE 581: Linear Systems

Spring 2021
Course Information

Course Content:
An investigation of the basic theory and techniques of modern system theory, emphasizing linear state
model formulations of continuous and discrete time systems in the time domain and frequency domain.
Coverage includes notions of linearity, time invariance, discrete and continuous times state models, canonical
forms, associated transfer functions and impulse response models, the state transition matrix, the Jordan
form, controllability, observability, and stability.
Lecture times and location: Tuesday and Thursday 13:00-14:30 on Zoom

record of the real-time lecture to KLMS.

Recommended Policies

ˆ Always consult the course webpage for up-to-date information about the course.
ˆ For any questions, you can email the lecturer or TA. However, I recommend that you can post your
questions to the Q&A section in KLMS in English so that other students can see your questions and
my answers.
ˆ You are expected to bring the printouts of the lecture notes to class by yourself (for off-line course)

Course Materials

ˆ Lecture Notes: These will be the primary course materials. The lecture notes will be posted the day
before the class.
ˆ Textbook:
– Linear System Theory and Design, 3rd Edition, Chi-Tsong Chen, Oxford University Press, 1999.
ISBN 0-19-511777-8. Although it is the official designated textbook, having it is optional.
– Linear System Theory, F. M. Callier and C. A. Desoer, Springer-Verlag, 1991.
– Linear Systems, T. Kailath, Prentice Hall, 1980.
– Finite-dimensional Linear Systems, R. Brockett, Wiley, 1970.
– Linear System Theory, W. J. Rugh, Prentice-Hall, 1996.

Prerequisite:

ˆ Undergraduate signal and systems


ˆ Exposure to Laplace transform, ordinary differential equations and elements of calculus;
ˆ Exposure to undergraduate feedback control, EE381;
ˆ Exposure to linear algebra. Some references that can help you freshen up on linear algebra include:
– Linear Algebra and Its Applications, 4th ed., G. Strang, 2006.
– Introduction to Linear Algebra, 4th ed., G. Strang, Wellesley-Cambridge Press, 2009.
– Matrix Computations, G. Golub and C. Van Loan, Johns Hopkins Press, 1996.

ˆ Access to MATLAB (a student edition is sufficient) for solving homework problems;

Grading Policy
There will be homeworks.

ˆ Homeworks (50%)
ˆ Final exam (49%) on Zoom (open book exam with around 2 3 hours).
ˆ Completing the course survey: (1%) As an incentive, you will be given the credit if you complete the
course survey by the time it closes and notify me by email (there is no need to send me proof such as
screen captures).
ˆ The final grade would be based on relative evaluation (The average GPA will be set to be 3.6/4.0
recommended by the department)

Academic Integrity
All grade-related components of this course, including the homework, midterms, project, and the final
exam, are to be completed by each student individually. Activities in violation of this policy will be considered
as academic misconducts; they will be addressed by the instructor and reported for review at the university
level. Any violation of course policies as it relates to academic integrity will result minimally in a failing
or zero grade for that particular grade component, and at the instructor’s discretion may result in a failing
grade for the course.

Campus Emergency
In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are
subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. In such
an event, information will be provided through announcements on the course website.
