An Introduction to Control Theory

• See a syllabus for an introduction to control theory.

• See the current homework assignments for the course.

• To see the exercises from A Mathematical Introduction to Control Theory, click here.

• Mr. Doron Avraham will be teaching all the recitation sections. His email is targil.doron@gmail.com.

• There will be two quizzes. Both of the quizzes will be closely related to the homework assignmnets. The first quiz will take place on 13 April 2010, and the second one will take place on 25 May 2010. The homework grade for the course will be computed by taking 60% of the higher quiz grade and adding it to 40% of the lower quiz grade.
  • The first quiz will cover the material covered in the first three lectures. (The last of those lecture was given on 18 March 2010.)

• For an introductory article about control theory, click here. (This link should work at Bar Ilan. It will probably not work at home.)

• For more information about non-minimum phase systems, see pp. 57-60 of this lab manual.

• An additional (more mathematical) reference for modern control theory is Notes for a Second Course on Linear Systems, C. A. Desoer, Van Nostrand, New York, 1970.

• See a Simulink model for a simple PLL.

• See a Simulink model of a simple non-linear oscillator.
