Multivariable Control

4 credits

An introduction to control of systems with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Topics to be addressed include: successive single loop design comparison; Lyapunov stability theory; full state feedback controller design; linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) methods (development, incorporation of noise, design, analysis); separation principle; stability robustness; introduction to H-infinity control. Course overlaps with: E E 548/A A 548/M E 548. Prerequisite: A E 510 Offered: A, odd years.
