Lectures:

• Lectures are held on Wednesdays, 08:15-11:00 in R5.
• Flipped classroom: The semester starts in Week 34. Note that we are going to use a flipped classroom for the first four lectures. This means that you study the available videos presenting the contents of both Lecture 1 and Lecture 2 before Wednesday August 30. Wednesday August 30 we meet at 08:15 in R5, and you can then ask questions to the material of Lecture 1 and Lecture 2 that you have studied in the videos, and we will also work through several examples including previous exam problems. Then you study the available videos presenting the contents of Lecture 3 and Lecture 4 before Wednesday September 13. Wednesday September 13 we meet at 08:15 in R5 for questions and examples. Thereafter, we have regular weekly lectures from week 38, except Week 45 (Lecture 11) which will also be flipped. You then watch the videos presenting Adaptive Control before November 8, and Wednesday November 8 we meet at 08:15 in R5 to work through several examples together.

Literature:

Hassan K. Khalil, Nonlinear Systems

Alternative 1: CU Nordics Edition, ISBN 9781784490133. The book can be bought at Akademika Gløshaugen or online.
Alternative 2: 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2002, 1995. ISBN 9780130673893. Click here to purchase the book at Amazon.com.

Both these editions contain the same material. The CU Nordics Edition is often less expensive than the 3rd edition.
(N.B.: Check the ISBN numbers to make sure that you get the correct edition. Several different editions exist, and for instance, the 2nd edition and the International edition do not contain all the material needed in this course. Also note that the book Nonlinear Control is a different book, and does not contain all the material needed in this course.)

A compendium on Adaptive control.
Selected conference and journal papers.
