Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

Overview in problems of multivariable (MRS) - and Large Scale Systems (LSS). Hierarchical and decentralized control of MRS and LSS. General look on problems of technical and non-technical LSS (biological, social, economical systems).

Learning objectives

The aim of the lecture is in extension of knowledges of PhD. students in multivariable (MRS) and Large-scale systems (LSS). The subject devotes analysis of MRS and its synthesis in frequency and time domain. The next part gives its attention to methods of hierarchical and decentralized control of LLS. The last part is concerned with introduction into hybrid systems and their control.
