ME 756 Advanced Problems in Controls
Topics include optimal control of continuous and discrete systems, linear quadratic regulator and tracking, Riccati equations and eigenstructure of Hamiltonian, and robust control techniques for linear systems (H4 and H2). Adaptive control techniques with emphasis on real-time parameter estimation, mode reference adaptive and self-tuned systems. Nonlinear control analysis and design using feedback linearization and variable structure control. Final project by students. Prerequisite: ME 512.
