About This Course

MAE M270A Linear Dynamic Systems (Instructor: M’Closkey, R.) (Same as Chemical Engineering M280A and Electrical Engi­neering M240A.) Lecture, four hours; outside study, eight hours. Requisite: course 171A or Electrical En­gineering 141. State-space description of linear time-invariant (LTI) and time-varying (LTV) systems in con­tinuous and discrete time. Linear algebra concepts such as eigenvalues and eigenvectors, singular values, Cayley/Hamilton theorem, Jordan form; solu­tion of state equations; stability, controllability, ob­servability, realizability, and minimality. Stabilization design via state feedback and observers; separation principle. Connections with transfer function tech­niques. Letter grading.
