Description: Analytical methods for the study of nonlinear systems are introduced, including singular point and phase plane analysis, the describing function technique, Lyapunov and Lagrangian state functions, stability analysis, bifurcation analysis, and chaotic behavior in nonlinear dynamic systems. As a substrate for the study of nonlinear systems, numerical analysis of ordinary and partial differential equations, boundary value problems, simulation methods, parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis methods are also included. Recommended Prerequisites: Knowledge of ordinary differential equations; electricity and magnetism, and solid mechanics from elementary physics; linear control theory.
