Description: This course provides a rigorous mathematical examination of the concepts used in modeling modeling the behavior of linear dynamical systems. The course first reviews linear algebra and undergraduate signal/system concepts for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. It examines state-based realizations for continuous/discrete/sampled linear dynamical systems. The course studes stability concepts (Lyapunov and Lp) used for linear dynamical systems. It introduces finite-time concepts of reachability/controllability and observability/constructibility for linear systems. It examines model reduction methods commonly used for linear systems. The course closes with a formal treatment of state feedback and its use in the design of state observers, state-feedback control, and observer-based control.
