The goal of this course is to introduce basics of the modern approaches to the theory and applications of nonlinear control. Fundamental difference when dealing with nonlinear systems control compared with linear case is that the state space approach prevails. Indeed, the frequency response approach is almost useless in nonlinear control. State space models are based mainly on ordinary differential equations, therefore, an introduction to solving these equations is part of the course. More importantly, the qualitative methods for ordinary differential equations will be presented, among them Lyapunov stability theory is crucial. More specifically, the focus will be on Lyapunov function method enabling to analyse stability of nonlinear systems, not only that of linear ones. Furthemore, stabilization desing methods will be studied in detail, among them the so-called control Lyapunov function concept and related backstepping method. Special stress will be, nevertheless, given by this course to introduce and study methods how to transform complex nonlinear models to simpler forms where more standard linear methods would be applicable. Such an approach is usually refered to as the so-called exact nonlinearity compensation. Contrary to the well-known approximate linearization this method does not ignore nonlinearities but compensates them up to the best possible extent. The course introduces some interesting case studies as well, e.g. the planar vertical take off and landing plane ("planar VTOL"), or a simple 2-dimensional model of the walking robot.

Annotation
The goal of this course is to help student develop a deeper and broader perspective on theory and applications of nonlinear systems. At the hearth of the course will be the so-called differential-geometric approach, which can be used for controllability and observability analysis of nonlinear systems, characterization of various types of exact feedback linearization and many other tasks. Great attention is paid to analysis of the structure of nonlinear systems from the perspective of control design. It follows from the state description of nonlinear systems and uses state transformations of the nonlinear model into a simpler form that is usable for control design. Differential-geometric conditions for existence of these transformations are studied in this course. Concepts of nonlinear controllability and observability are introduced in this course and their relation to stabilization and reconstruction is analyzed because it is not as clear as for linear systems. Some additional topics such nonsmooth stabilization and discontinuous stabilization will be covered. Examples of use of the presented theories in underactuated robotic walking, nonholonomic systems and optimization of biosystems will be given.
