Course

  1. Introuction to nonlinear systems (basic concepts, models, state equalities, linearization methods, properties)
  2. Stability of nonlinear systems (stability concepts, Lyapunov, stability testing)
  3. Lyapunov-based controller design (LQ, backstepping, sliding-mode, etc.)
  4. Linearization-based controller design (basic concepts, Lie derivative, controllability)
