Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the student with theoretical tools for the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear control systems.

Program
References on Time Invariant Linear Systems. Nonlinear Systems Analysis. Stability of Autonomous Nonlinear Systems. Lyapunov Stability. Stability of non Autonomous Nonlinear Systems.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The assessment of student learning consists of an oral exam, which consists of answering three of the topics covered in the course.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
To successfully pass the assessment of learning, the student must have a competence of all the mathematical tools needed to understand the topics covered in the course, and of all the concepts that are the basis of automatic control theory fot linear time invariant systems. He must also know the fundamental properties of nonlinear dynamical systems and finally he must be able to perform the analysis and the synthesis of a non-linear control system, using the tools learnt in the course, both from a theoretical point of view, showing that he has understood in depth all the topics studied, and from a practical point of view, showing the capability ofsolving examples and exercises on the analysis and synthesis of these systems.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Each of oral questions is graded with a score between zero and ten. The overall evaluation is the sum of the three scores and is marked out of thirty.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
In order to have a positive evaluation, the student must achieve an overall score of at least eighteen, with the constraint that in each of the three oral questions the evaluation must be at least six. Full marks cum laude are given to students who have achieved the highest rating in the oral exam, and have shown a particular brilliance.
