SYST0017-1  Non linear systems

Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in Biomedical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearFirst semester5
Master in Electrical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearFirst semester5
Master of science in computer science and engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearFirst semester5

Master in Bio-informatics and Modelling, Research focus, 2nd yearFirst semester4
Lecturer :  Rodolphe Sepulchre
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
The course is an introduction to the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear dynamical systems. The mathematical tools are illustrated on different applications, preferentially in the fields of neurodynamics, nonlinear control, and physics. Further specific illustrations are investigated by the students through individual projects.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
An increasing number of engineering applications either exploit or have to deal with nonlinear dynamical phenomena. The course presents the basic mathematical tools used in the modelling and analysis of such phenomena.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
SYST002-1 or an equivalent course on linear systems
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
a homework to hand out each week during the semester + one final project
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
1st semester. All practical informations regarding the course are available at
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/systems/SYST017/syst017.htm
Recommended or required readings :  
Textbook: 'Chaos, an introduction to
dynamical systems', K.T. Alligood, T. D. Sauer, J.A. Yorke, Springer, 2000.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
4 individual homeworks during the
school year;
Individual project + written report +
oral presentation for final exam.
