EL2620 Nonlinear Control 7.5 credits
Nonlinear Control treats the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear control systems. The course consists of three main parts: an analysis part presenting the theoretical foundation; a design part introducing important control design methods; and a part dealing with other nonlinear control methods.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course treats control theory for nonlinear dynamic systems:
- analysis of input-output stability by means of e.g. the small gain theorem and the circle criterion
- analysis of stability of equilibrium points through linearization and Lyapunov methods
- analysis of stability for passive systems
- design and analysis of feedback control for nonlinear systems through linearization, feedback linearization and Lyapunov based methods
- design and analysis of high gain feedback, e.g. sliding mode control
- observers for nonlinear systems
- setpoint regulation control and setpoint tracking
- simulation of nonlinear dynamic models.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- formulate theory and definitions of important concepts in nonlinear control systems
- apply theory and methods within nonlinear control.
Course disposition
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Knowledge in automatic control 6 higher education credits equivalent to completed course EL1000/EL1010/EL1110/EL1120.
Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in LADOK is considered equivalent to completion of the course.
Registering for a course is counted as active participation.
The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.
Recommended prerequisites

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INLA - Homework, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- INLB - Home work, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TENT - Written exam, 2.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
