Electrical Engineering 222

Title	Nonlinear Systems--Analysis, Stability and Control
Units	3
Prerequisites	221A (may be taken concurrently).
Description	Basic graduate course in non-linear systems. Second Order systems. Numerical solution methods, the describing function method, linearization. Stability - direct and indirect methods of Lyapunov. Applications to the Lure problem - Popov, circle criterion. Input-Output stability. Additional topics include: bifurcations of dynamical systems, introduction to the "geometric" theory of control for nonlinear systems, passivity concepts and dissipative dynamical systems.
