E&CE 682

An introduction to control theory for linear time-invariant finite-dimensional systems

from both the state-space and input-output viewpoints.
State-space theory; the concepts of controllability, observability, stabilizability and
detectability; the pole-assignment theorem; observers and dynamic compensation; LQ
regulators. Input-output theory; the ring of polynomials and the field of rational
functions, the algebra of polynomial and rational matrices; coprime factorization of
transfer matrices; Youla parametrization, introduction to optimal control

Prequisites
ELE380 and any 4th year controls course (or their equivalent)

Assignments for ECE682 The best way to learn is to teach!

-You will be given 7 assignments where the solutions are partially given. With your
group, produce a complete solution set with details. Then, for each assignment, each
group will be responsible for creating 2 questions that would be suitable for an exam
question. Provide a detailed solution. Must be solvable in 20 minutes by your peers. Up
to 40% of the final exam could be from the submitted problems

Mark Distribution
Final 50% (Up to 40% of exam mark from the questions created from assignments, up to
10% of the exam drawn from project presentations below)
Assignments (Create questions for a final exam along with solutions)- 30%
-assigned questions- 75% of total assignment mark
-designed exam questions with solutions- 25% of total assignment mark
Project- One submission per group- 20% (50% of total based on group presentation, 50%
based on journal paper formatted report)
