Date of Decision: 2013-04-10

General Information

Language of instruction: The course will be given in English on demand

Aim

The course builds on the acknowledgement that a large part of the technical and non-technical systems one encounters as a Master of Engineering contains non-linearities or non-stationary events, that reflects fundamental properties in the studied system. When describing such a system and then using the description for, e.g. prediction or adjustment, it is therefore necessary that the model also describes the non-linear and non-stationary parts of the system. Hence, the course aim is to give fundamental knowledge in modelling of non-linear and non-stationary dynamic, stochastic systems, as well as in the use of stochastic differential equations for modelling physical systems.
