Course content
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with some advanced control design methods of linear dynamical systems especially in the discrete-time area. Attention is focused mainly on the following areas: *adaptive control of SISO systems (Model Reference Control, suboptimal control with online identification based on external description *state estimation of the deterministic and stochastic system (Luenberger and Kalman's estimator, adaptive Kalman's estimator) *quadratic optimal state-space control (LQ control on the finite and infinite horizon, solution using dynamic programming and using algebraic Riccati equation, some variation of the trajectory tracking task) *optimal control of stochastic systems, LQG controller *predictive control of MIMO linear systems under existence of constraints (use of quadratic programming, control of systems with time-varying parameters)

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with some advanced control design methods of linear dynamical systems especially in the discrete-time area.
Overview of problems and knowledge of adaptive control design of SISO systems. Knowledge of design of controllers based mainly on linear state description including state estimation.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mathematics, physics and control theory at master level is assumed. Knowledge of programming and computing environment MATLAB / SIMULINK is expected

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

The student completes at least 3 consultations during the semester concerning the theoretical content of the course. The student will pass at least 1 consultations concerning the assigned practical problem. In the practical part the student will design and implement a control system for selected process. The control system will be verified on a real laboratory apparatus
