Course plan, setup and book
The course is 9hp.
- Structure: 7 Lectures, 7 exercises, see schedule below.
- Book: Essentials of Robust Control by John Doyle and Kemin Zhou (originally published in 1998). This is a condensed version of Robust and Optimal Control by Kemin Zhou, John Doyle and Keith Glover. + Handouts (see below)
- Tools: Matlab
- Examination: Exercises + Handins + Exam
- Collaboration is encouraged on exercises and handins!
- Handins are due before the exercise session, email to: carolina.bergeling@control.lth.se with subject Robust control handin X
- Prepare so that you are able to share your solutions to the exercises at the session. (Take a photo of handwritten notes or typeset)
