About the course

Course content

The course is given every other year, next time in 2026. The course covers advanced topics in nonlinear control systems.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE: In-depth knowledge of design and analysis of nonlinear systems. Knowledge of stability analysis of perturbed nonlinear systems. Knowledge of averaging. Knowledge of input-to-state feedback linearization. Knowledge of control design using sliding mode and super-twisting control. Knowledge of control barrier functions. Knowledge of analysis of cascaded systems. SKILLS: Be able to analyse the stability properties of (pertutbed) nonlinear systems and design control laws for such systems. Be able to apply methods from the literature on a given case. GENERAL COMPETENCE: Skills in applying this knowledge and proficiency in new areas and complete advanced tasks and projects. Skills in communicating extensive independent work, and master the technical terms of nonlinear systems theory. Ability to contribute to innovative thinking and innovation processes

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, mandatory group work and project.

Compulsory assignments

  • Report

Further on evaluation

The oral exam counts for 100% of the final grade. To gain entry to the final exam, a mandatory project work must be approved and evaluated to a level corresponding to a passed grade level. The oral exam includes the student presenting the results of the project.

The re-sit exam is held in August.
