Course Objectives

The course aims to introduce students to the main methods of synthesis of controllers for multivariable linear continuous-time and discrete-time dynamical systems. The definitions of sensitivity, complementary sensitivity and control sensitivity function are extended and their characteristics are analyzed using appropriately defined performance indices. State estimation for deterministic and stochastic systems are presented with particular emphasis on the Kalman filtering.
