The course will give students an introduction to basic concepts within optimization and control of dynamical systems, with emphasis on mathematical techniques like dynamic programming and calculus of variation. Theory of differential and integral equations of higher degree is covered. Control theory is useful in many different fields such as optimization of portfolios in finance and steering of robots. Thus it is fundamental to much modern technology.
Students will be taught to master control problems using central mathematical techniques such as calculus of variation and dynamical programming.
Students who are admitted to study programmes or individual courses at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for by registering a study plan in StudentWeb.
International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.

This subject offers new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. Deferred examinations for students who due to illness or other valid reason of absence were unable to sit for their final exams will be arranged at the same time. (These valid reasons has to be documented within given deadlines.)
