After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• model plants with distributed parameters.
• investigate properties of distributed-parameter systems such as stability, controlability and reachability and address differences compared to lumped-parameter systems.
• choose suitable control strategies and apply them to examples.
• evaluate the performance of designed control systems.

• Modeling of DPS control processes
• Analytical and numerical solution approaches for partial differential equations
• DPS control in the frequency domain
• State-space representation, stability, controllability, observability
• Functional analytic approaches for control and observer design
• Flatness-based feedforward and feedback control design
• Backstepping and passivity-based methods
