Dynamic Systems and Control

Written by: Mohammed Dahleh, Munther A. Dahleh and George Verghese (all from MIT)

They are calling this material course notes but they look more like a Dynamic Systems and Control textbook. They are from one of the great MIT open courses in engeineering and computer science. The stated course objectives were:

“The course addresses dynamic systems, i.e., systems that evolve with time. Typically these systems have inputs and outputs; it is of interest to understand how the input affects the output (or, vice-versa, what inputs should be given to generate a desired output). In particular, we will concentrate on systems that can be modeled by Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), and that satisfy certain linearity and time-invariance conditions.

We will analyze the response of these systems to inputs and initial conditions. It is of particular interest to analyze systems obtained as interconnections (e.g., feedback) of two or more other systems. We will learn how to design (control) systems that ensure desirable properties (e.g., stability, performance) of the interconnection with a given dynamic system.”

This free online electrical engineering textbook Dynamic Systems and Control are the notes of Mohammed Dahleh, Munther A. Dahleh and George Verghese. All are affiliated with MIT. The chapters are offered as a series of individual PDF files.

This is a graduate-level course. This might not be a complete list but the prerequisites include: Physics II, Signals and Systems course, Linear Algebra, Calculus II, Feedback System Design, Dynamics and Control I and Differential Equations.
