Aims :

To describe basic notions of System and Control Theory and of Automation and to provide basic techniques for analysis and synthesis of Discrete Events dynamical Systems and Discrete Time, Linear, Time Invariant Dynamical Systems.

Topics :

1) Introduction and generalities about dynamical systems and mathematical models. Basic notions of System and Control Theory and of Automation. Mathematical models. dynamical systems and their representation. Discrete Events dynamical Systems. Discrete Time, Linear, Time Invariant Dynamical Systems.
2) Properties of DEDS and related problems. Analysis and sysnthesis of DEDS. Models, automata and languages. Basic operations on automata and languages. Supervisory control and controller synthesis.

3) Properties of Discrete Time, Linear Dynamical Systems and related problems. Analysis and synthesis of linear systems. ARX models. Input/output structure and response. Z transform and its use in the study of discrete time, linear systems. Transfer function analysis. I/O stability. steady- state response. Feedback control.
