During the five day period 11, 12, 13 September, and 18, 19 September, an intensive course
will be given on robust linear control for uncertain linear and non linear dynamical systems.
We will use Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) or the Horowitz method which is based on
classical Bode Nyquist Nichols design in the frequency domain. The aim of the course is that
the participant will be able to design controllers for a large class of industrial control systems.
The course is meant for graduate students specializing in Systems Theory, Automatic
Control, Process Control, Signal Processing, Optimization, Robotics, Automomous Systems,
and related fields, as well as last year undergraduate students interested in one of the
above areas e.g. for a final project. Control engineers active in industry are most welcome.
Language: The course is given in Swedish, unless one of the participants demands English.
The OH slides are in English.
Prerequisites: A basic course in automatic control, covering classical feedback design
Examination: 1) A SISO design problem will be given as a home assignment on 13 Septem
ber, to be handed in on 18 September. 2) A take home exam will be given on 19 September,
to be handed in by email on 7 October. 3) Each participant will select or be given a small
design project, whose solution is to be handed in not later than 2003 02 01, as a written
report, and presented in a short lecture (20 minutes) at an agreed upon occasion in February
2003. The participant is encouraged to suggest a design topic that has a connection to her/his
work, research or final project.
Credits: 4 points.
Lectures: 08.15 12.00, in room 3721 (Wednesday 11 September, Friday 13 September,
Wednesday 18 September), and in room 3733 (Thursday 12 September, Thursday 19 Septem
ber), 7th floor, Division of Optimization and Systems Theory, Department of Mathematics,
Lindstedsv agen 25, KTH. The lectures are given by Per Olof Gutman.
Exercises: The day of the lectures, at 13.15 17.00, with each participant at his/her com
puter. A room (to be announced) for the exercises will be put to the disposal for the partici
pants, who are encouraged to bring their lap top computers. The exercises are individual or
in pairs, assisted by the lecturer, and by the teaching assistant, Gianantonio Bortolin.
Software: We will use Qsyn the toolbox for robust control systems design for use with
Matlab 6, authored by P O Gutman and co workers. The toolbox will be available on the
Unix system of the Division of Optimization and Systems Theory. For the duration of the
course and on demand, the toolbox will be made available for the computer systems of other
departments and for participants with PCs.
Literature: Copies of overhead slides; selected scientific articles;
and Qsyn User's manual
and reference commands.
