SF2842 Geometric Control Theory


Examiner and lecturer

Xiaoming Hu (hu@math.kth.se), Room 3712, Lindstedtsv. 25, tel. 790 7180.

Teaching assistant

Yuecheng Yang (yuecheng@math.kth.se), Lindstedtsv. 25, tel. 790 7132.

Course contents

The goal of the course is to give students good knowledge about the fundamental results in the geometric control theory. Here is an introduction to the course.

Course material

Course requirements

There are three homework sets that must be completed. The homework questions will be made available to the students around ten days before the deadline. Successful completion of the homework sets (better than 60% or better than 80%) gives grade E or D. A written exam is required for a grade higher than D. 43 points out of 50 points will guarantee an A. If you fail one set of the homework, you can still get a grade E by obtaining at least 22 points out of 50 points in the final exam.

Homework

Note: The date in parentheses is the last day (before 5 pm) for handing in the written solutions. The homework questions will be made available online about ten days before the deadline.

Some old homework can be downloaded here: Homework 1, Homework 2, and Homework 3.

Written exam

An optional written exam (for grade higher than D) will be held on December 21, 2011, 14:00-19:00. This will be an open-book exam. The exam will consist of five problems that give maximal 50 points. These problems will be similar in type to those in the homeworks and in the exercises. 43 points will guarantee a grade A, 37 a grade B and 31 a grade C. Here is an example of exam and solution.
