2. Automatic process control
Course Syllabus
Automatic process control
Automatic process control
Study of the BIBO stability of linear feedback control systems
Major problems, complications and special cases in feedback control
Outline of control strategies different from feedback

3. Mathematical Modeling
Course Syllabus
Modeling
and
Simulation
Mathematical Modeling
General classification of mathematical models
Intro to dynamical analysis of non-linear systems
Discrete-time non-linear systems

4. Objectives of the Course
To give the students theoretical basis, methodological tools and software aid in order to:
determine the stability of linear feedback control systems:
discern the complexity of the process engineering systems;
represent them as abstract systems; classify general and mathematical models;
understand the difference in the dynamical analysis between linear non-linear systems
