The goal of controlling a system is to reach or retain stability. In control theory, stability is described with the Lyapunov stability criteria and mathematical models that set into relation the ...

The well-known and nearly hundred years old "proportional-integral- derivative"(PID) controller is a linear feedback control method which adjusts the input signal by ...

Quantum Optimal Control Theory (QOCT) is a rigorous framework that underpins the precise manipulation of quantum systems by designing tailored control fields. It combines advanced mathematical ...

This course is an introduction to the foundations of nonlinear control theory, with an emphasis on feedback stabilization. As needed, topics from differential geometry and other mathematical ...
