CMPE 240


Introduction to applied linear algebra and linear dynamical systems
with applications to circuits, signal processing, communications, and
control systems. Topics include the following: Least-squares
approximations of over-determined equations and least-norm solutions of
underdetermined equations. Symmetric matrices, matrix norm and singular
value decomposition. Eigenvalues, left and right eigenvectors, and
dynamical interpretation. Matrix exponential, stability, and asymptotic
behavior. Multi-input multi-output systems, impulse and step matrices;
convolution and transfer matrix descriptions. Control, reachability,
state transfer, and least-norm inputs. Observability and least-squares
state estimation. Enrollment restricted to graduate students;
undergraduates may enroll if they have completed Electrical Engineering
103 and Applied Math and Statistics 147. G. Elkaim, K. Ross, W. Dunbar,
J. Cortes
