Extremum Seeking Control in Simulink

This course teaches extremum-seeking control (ESC) using a simple example in Matlab's Simulink. The learning outcomes include understanding real-time optimization through ESC and the stability of extremum seeking feedback in nonlinear dynamic systems. The course covers building blocks in Simulink, building control topology, setting static objective functions, and adjusting initial conditions. Students will learn to implement ESC using tools such as integrator gain and highpass filters. The teaching method involves a lecture format with practical demonstrations. This course is intended for individuals interested in control systems, optimization, and dynamic systems, particularly those with a background in engineering or related fields.
