Gallestey4 of 214 Nonlinear Systems and Control Spring 2018 PrefaceThe objective of this course is to provide the students with an introductionto Nonlinear Systems and the various methods of controlling I of the course introduces the students to the notions of nonlinearitiesand the various ways of analyzing existence and uniqueness of solutions toordinary differential equations.

7 As well as understanding various notions ofstability and their II of the course arms the students with a variety of Control methodsthat are suitable for Nonlinear Systems and is designed in such a way as toput the student in the position to deploy Nonlinear Control techniques in chapters are combined with exercises that are geared towards attainingbetter understanding of the pros and the cons of the different Al Hokayem & E. Gallestey5 of 214 Part IAnalysis6 Chapter Main ConceptsWhen engineers analyze and design Nonlinear dynamical Systems in elec-trical circuits, mechanical Systems , Control Systems , and other engineeringdisciplines, they need to be able to use a wide range of Nonlinear analysistools.

8 Despite the fact that these tools have developed rapidly since the mid1990s, Nonlinear Control is still largely a tough this course, we will present basic results for the analysis of nonlinearsystems, emphasizing the differences to linear Systems , and we will introducethe most important Nonlinear feedback Control tools with the goal of givingan overview of the main possibilities available. Additionally, the lectures willaim to give the context on which each of these tools are to be used. contains an overview of the topics to be considered in this ResultsModeling and SimulationWell posednessODE TheoryBifurcationsDisturbance RejectionSensorsObserversStabilizationUn certaintyLyapunovTrackingNonlinearitiesF eedback LinearizationSliding ModeEconomic OptimizationControl EffortOptimal ControlConstraintsModel Predictive ControlTable : Course Content7 Nonlinear Systems and Control Spring Nonlinear Models and Nonlinear PhenomenaWe will deal with Systems of the form: x1=f1(x1,x2.)

In the analysis phase,external inputs are also often neglected, leaving system x=f(x).( )Working with an unforced state equation does not necessarily mean that theinput to the system is zero. It rather means that the input has been specifiedas a given function of the stateu=u(x).Definition system is said to be autonomous or time invariant if thefunctionfdoes not depend explicitly ont, that is, x=f(x).

Homogeneity:f( x) = f(x), R2. Superposition:f(x+y) =f(x) +f(y), x,y RnP. Al Hokayem & E.
