Anotation:

The goal of this course is to help student develop a deeper and broader perspective on theory and applications of nonlinear systems. At the hearth of the course will be the so-called differential-geometric approach, which can be used for controllability and observability analysis of nonlinear systems, characterization of various types of exact feedback linearization and many other tasks. Great attention is paid to analysis of the structure of nonlinear systems from the perspective of control design. It follows from the state description of nonlinear systems and uses state transformations of the nonlinear model into a simpler form that is usable for control design. Differential-geometric conditions for existence of these transformations are studied in this course. Concepts of nonlinear controllability and observability are introduced in this course and their relation to stabilization and reconstruction is analyzed because it is not as clear as for linear systems. Some additional topics such nonsmooth stabilization and discontinuous stabilization will be covered. Examples of use of the presented theories in underactuated robotic walking, nonholonomic systems and optimization of biosystems will be given.
