This course is offered for graduate students, which will provide the techniques to analyze and indentify linear or nonlinear systems with unknown parameters. And even more, you can use adaptive control theory to design the system controller you need for the desired purpose. Some nonlinear control design theories will also be introduced. We specially focus on sliding mode control theory and combined it with adaptive control method. You will be able to cope with most of the uncertainties encountered in different systems. Course outline is as the following:

•Introduction
•Mathematical Preliminaries
•Identification of System Parameters
•Adaptive Control of Linear Systems
•Adaptive Control of a Class of Nonlinear Systems
•Robust Adaptive Control
•Nonlinear control design: Sliding mode control
•Adaptive Sliding Mode Control
