ACS6102   State-Space, Non-Linear and Optimal Control   (15 credits)

Description

This module introduces students to numerical optimisation and search methods for a wide class of engineering problems. Students will also be introduced to advanced state-space control systems analysis and design methods. The module will then develop the theory of optimal control by generalising classical finite-dimensional optimisation to the calculus of variations, and introduce some recent global methods in linear and nonlinear systems theory.
