Graduate course

Stochastic dynamic systems, fall 2001


Schedule

I will give a graduate course on Stochastic dynamic systems during fall 2001.
The course will  start October 03. See below for more details on the schedule.
The course will be given in English.

Literature

As a text we will use my  book manuscript
T. Söderström: Discrete-Time Stochastic Systems -- Estimation and Control.
The first edition, now out of print, was published by
Prentice Hall International, Hemel Hempstead, UK, 1994.
The text has now been revised, and will be made available to those who
registrate for the course for the price of SEK 100 (not applicable
to participants from Dept of Systems and Control).
 

Prerequisites

The course should be appropriate for graduate students in automatic control,
signal processing, systems theory, mathematical statistics, engineering disciplines, physics, etc.

It is assumed that the participants have some basic working knowledge in
stationary stochastic processes, linear algebra, and  discrete-time dynamic systems.
A MSc (civilingenjör) in engineering physics or an equivalent background from another
undergraduare program should be sufficient.

Organisation

There will be a session of 4 hours a week. Each session will include

The students will be given regular homework problems to be solved.
This will be a part of the examination.

Examination

The homework problems will be an essential part of the examination.
There will also be a final 'take-home' exam.
The homeworks assignments are organized into two parts, A and B.
Part A is mandatory, while the exercises in part B can be done by students
who wants a deeped experience in the field (and more credit point).
The basic alternatives are thus


Registration

In order to arrange an appropriate number of the course material,
I would like interested participants to register for the course as soon as possible,
and not later than by September 28.
You can do so by contacting  me: phone (018-183075),  or email.
