Goal: The main aim is to provide the Students with the most important
mathematical methods on which the modern nonlinear control applications are
based. Besides the purely mathematical point of view actual implementation
issues are considered, too.
Course description: The beginning of the course, concentrates on mathematical methods.
It shows the connections between classical math subjects (like calculus, linear algebra), and
the modern nonlinear control theory. Then shows detailed examples, from theory to
implementation, using two modern methods (VSSM, RFPT). The last part shows some another
interesting example, how mathematics is related to computer science, like fractals, genetic
algorithms, multidimensional scaling.
