Stability and Eigenvalues [Control Bootcamp]

Here we discuss the stability of a linear system (in continuous-time or discrete-time) in terms of eigenvalues. Later, we will actively modify these eigenvalues, and hence the dynamics...

Control Systems in Practice, Part 6: What Are Non-Minimum Phase Systems?

We like to categorize transfer functions into groups and label them because it helps us understand how a particular system will behave simply by knowing the group that it’s part of. We gain...

Computing the DFT Matrix

This video discusses how to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix in Matlab and Python. In practice, the DFT should usually be computed using the fast Fourier transform (FFT)...
