This course covers both continuous-time and discrete-time (Digital) state-space control of linear systems. It then extends these concepts to nonlinear system modelling and control.

This course starts with a comprehensive introduction to state-space control concepts that include linear state-space models, poles and zeros of a Linear Time Invariant system, observability and controllability. It then introduces the design and optimization of both regulators and estimators via pole-placement; culminating in LQR, LQE and LQE designs.
The course further covers Digital Control concepts and elaborates on how state-space control concepts are impacted in the digital realm. Basic System Identification is also introduced.
The course finally extends the linear state-space control concepts to simple second-order nonlinear systems by introducing linearization, Lyapunov Stability, Equilibrium Points and Phase Plane Portraits. It ends with Gain Scheduling and an introduction to Model Reference Adaptive Control.
