Adaptive and Optimal Control
Jan 2013, EE5750, 3 credit course, ESB 207A, G slot (mon:12, thur:10, fri: 9)
Mid Semester Exam: 20 marks, Final Exam (possibly take home): 20 marks,
Research Projects: 60 marks
The course will have the following components:
1) Concepts
2) Research projects
Under concepts we will aim to cover some concepts used in control theory, non-linear systems,
time-delay systems, etc.
To get a flavor of some of the topics browse over:
Control Engineering
Nonlinear Control
Optimal Control
The class will be broken into groups of 2 students for semester long research projects.
You can choose your own groups.
The projects will be actual (small) research problems which can
benefit from the application of modern control concepts.
The research problems will be motivated from different application areas
like Biological systems, and Engineering
(Communications,
Circuits, Optics, Power).
You may wish to browse over the following to get a flavor of some potential research projects.
Biology
Mackey-Glass equation
Logistic function
Predator-Prey Model
Communication Networks
TCP Performance
Explicit Congestion Control
References, etc will be discussed in class.
