Graduate Course in Modelling.
Period 2, 2000
General information:
The course covers modelling of dynamic systems based on physical (or chemical, biological, economic, etc) insight. It can be seen as a continuation of one of the undergraduate courses "Modellbygge och simulering" or "Modellering av industriella system".
The course consists of a series of seminars by the participants and possibly a few guest lectures. The topics for seminars are chosen from the list below (or possibly additional ones are invented).
Topics for seminars
* Vector valued bond graphs* Bond graphs and thermodynamics
* Is there a mathematical theory for bond graphs?
* Bond graphs without energy
* Model simplification: singular perturbations.
* What is the index of an algebraic-differential system?
* How are algebraic-differential-systems simulated?
* What is the relation between differential-algebraic and algebraic differential systems?
* What is semi-physical modelling?
* General modelling philosophies
* Switches in continuous systems
Note: Some of the topics above are quite broad, and might be suitable for joint work by several persons.

Examination
To get credit for the course one has to* Give a 45 minute seminar on one of the topics.
* Post a ps-file of the slides of the seminar on this www-page.
* Submit a 2-3 page written abstract of the subject of the seminar to the course files. (Unnecessary if the slides are reasonably detailed)
* Make a simulation of a "reasonably sized" system in Modelica, Simulink, 20sim or some other simulation language, and report the results.
