  Non-linear dynamics: a geometric approach  
  Objective: Non-linear systems have many applications. Several phenomena and physical principles can be modelled by non-linear equations. Today, the basis of non-linear control can be proposed to non-specialist people by following the classical control methods by means of the geometric approach of non-linear systems, affine in the control variables.  
   
   
 
  • Coordinates change and non-linear representations.
  • The input-output linearization problem via static state feedback.
  • Structures and local decompositions for non-linear systems affine in the control: the differential geometry allows to extend some intuitive geometric concepts.
  • The input-state linearization problem via static state feedback.
  • The maximal linearizable subsystem.
  • Stability and stabilization problems
  • Links with linear systems and the direct synthesis methods based on the transfer functions.
  • The disturbance rejection problem with/without the disturbance measurements.
  • The tracking problem and the model matching.
  • The multivariable input-output decoupling problem. Non-interactive control.
  • A case study: the satellite attitude control problem in a geo-stationary orbit.
  • Stabilization on an elliptic orbit around a Lagrangian point of the Hearth – Moon system.
 
                           
  Discrete-time control  
  Objective: Recalls on the main techniques – the direct and indirect synthesis methods as an extension to the non-linear context.  
   
 
  • A discrete time control scheme: the components - part I
  • A discrete time control scheme: the components - part II
  • A synthesis of the discretization methods of continuous time filters: stability problems.
  • Pre-compensation techniques: discrete time control through an indirect approach.
  • Discretization techniques in the time domain and in the complex variables domain.
  • Multirate discretization: its use in the discrete time control.
  • Direct discrete time control. Minimum time control, dead beat control...
  • Non-linear discretization techniques.
  • Non-linear discrete time control.
  • An approach based on the multiple sampling.
  • A case study: Attitude control of a satellite.
  • A case study: a mobile robot.
 
                           
  Control of dynamical systems: a geometric approach  
  Objective: we present the main results in linear multivariable control theory with a geometric approach. This allows an intuitive comprehension of the extension to the non-linear case.  
   
 
  • Recalls on the accessibility and observability properties: geometric study. Invariant structures.
  • Multivariable canonical forms and the eigenvalues assignment problem.
  • State reconstruction and observer theory. The eigenvalues assignment problem via output feedback. The separation principle.
  • The eigenvalues assignment problem with an optimal approach. The zero placement of control systems.
  • Invariant subspaces – algorithms.
  • The disturbance rejection problem.
  • The tracking problem and the model matching.
  • Non-interacting control.
  • Non-interacting control with stability.
  • The regulation problem.
  • The state feedback solution.
  • The output feedback solution and robust regulation.
