This course is offered for graduate students interested in control engineering. Main object of this course is focused on nonlinear system analysis with some nonlinear controller design tools provided. As a core course of control system theory, we will give a solid basis on control system theory and discuss both basic and advanced stability analysis techniques for nonlinear systems. The course outlines are: Introduction and mathematical preliminaries Nonlinear dynamical system exploration Lyapunov stability and input-output stability Stability of perturbed systems Nonlinear controller design Applications to practical nonlinear systems

Understand characteristics and modeling of nonlinear dynamical systems Use Lyapunov theory to analyze stability of nonlinear dynamical systems Study and compare stability properties of some classes of nonlinear systems
