General Information

Systems theory is an interdisciplinary field of science, which is aimed to analyze and study the nature of complex dynamical systems, e.g. biological, economic, and electrical systems. During the course the basics that allow the study and understanding of dynamical processes will be presented. In particular, attention will be focused on special properties of continuous/discrete linear/nonlinear systems, e.g. stability, observability, controllability, etc.

Requirements

Engineering mathematics, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations.

Program of the Course

The following topics will be covered

  • Description of dynamical Systems
    • Modelling
    • Classification
  • Structural properties of linear Systems
    • Linear differential/difference equations
    • Solution, stability, and transformation
    • Controllability, observability, normal form
    • Zeros, and relative degree
  • Structural properties of nonlinear Systems
    • Lyapunov stability
    • Relative degree
    • Transformation for nonlinear Systems
    • Normal form, controllability, observability, zero-dynamics
  • Randomness in dynamic Systems
    • Properties of random signal
    • Random signal and LTI Systems
    • Estimation and filtering
    • Wiener filter
