News and Important Information

Dear students,
There will be a first meeting on Thursday, October 16, at 10:30am in room 224.3 in the main building where all necessary details will be discussed (date of lectures, content, receptions, problem sets, ...):

  • Please note: If you are interested in attending the course but cannot attend the first meeting, please send me an email by October 16.

  • I will send out a doodle pool afterwards in order to find a day/time for the lectures (these will start in the second week of class).


Course Description

The main topic to be discussed in the first part of this course is backstepping controller design. This approach originated from control of nonlinear systems called integrator backstepping. It was extended afterwards to partial differential equations in the context of boundary control. We will consider backstepping design for different classes of PDEs as well as observer design, motion planning and adaptive control.
