MSc Guide Information
(Information MSc Guides Electrical Engineering and MSc Systems and Control)
Summary:
In this course we study several examples of
the use of numerical optimization methods
in systems and control.
The basic characteristics and properties
of various optimisation methods will be discussed.
Next these methods are used in a multi-criterion
controller design application.
We also focus on the translation of the design
constraints
into mathematical constraints.
Other important topics are the determination of the
most appropriate optimization method for a given problem,
determination of good initial conditions,
and computation of gradients.
