Aim
The students should learn to formulate and solve advanced control design problems. The students should develop insight into how control performance is affected by process properties, controller structure, disturbances, time delays, and sampling interval.

Contents
The control design process. Major design example: Tracking and focus control in a DVD player. Linear state-space and input/output models in both discrete and continuous time. Z-transforms. Stability, system gain and robustness. Sampling of systems and signals. Overview of control structures and synthesis methods. Fundamental performance limitations. Digital controller implementation. Stochastic disturbance models. Optimization-based design. Linear quadratic optimization with and without disturbances. Kalman filters.
