Two review sections: one on fundamental feedback control theory, and another
on linear (matrix) algebra. Since ECE4520/5520 is an entry-level (gateway)
graduate course in control theory, and since incoming students have
widely varying experience, I have found this to be very helpful. |
 |
Introductions to modeling continuous-time and discrete-time linear
systems in state-space form. Includes canonical forms, and converting
between realizations. Emphasis is placed on intuitive understanding of
system performance via eigenvalue analysis. |
 |
A section on controllability and observability, and the meaning and
importance of both. |
 |
A section on designing controllers and observers for SISO and MIMO
systems modeled in state-space form. |
 |
An introduction to LQR as the capstone of the course, and as an introduction
to optimal control theory. |
 |
A review section. |
 |
I typeset the lecture notes. |
