SUMMER COURSE ON NONLINEAR CONTROL SYSTEMS: AN ALGEBRAIC SETTING

A two-week intensive summer course on nonlinear control systems will be
given at CINVESTAV, Mexico City, Mexico, from July 4 to July 15, 1994. The
lectures will be given in English by Professors Claude H. Moog of the
Central School of Nantes, Nantes, France, and Ana Maria Perdon of the
University of Ancona, Ancona, -Italy. The tuition fee is $100 USD.

The summer course is designed to summarize the state of the art in the
analysis and control of nonlinear systems with emphasis on the so-called
algebraic approach. The following topics will be covered: realization,
accesibility, observability, system transformations, system structure,
feedback linearization, disturbance decoupling, noninteracting control and
model matching. Vugraphs and lecture notes are provided.
