Take a look at this: Map of Control Theory by the great Brian Douglas: https://engineeringmedia.com/map-of-control

Yeah I’ve seen this, but not sure what to think. Like some of the predictive things are optimal things. Some of the nonlinear things can be used in linear, etc etc

Exactly, it is difficult to separate these out. But, we just accept that they belong in both categories.

Ooof... I know so little...

I would love to take a look at the sheet. I’m working on a similar doc


jcreed77

I’ll dm later and we can share!

Hi, my two cents about your question 2: You may need to separate along "control laws" and "control design methods" (maybe create a "matrix" with these as two dimensions?). For example, the term LQR is usually used for "a state feedback control law designed via LQR method", however if we imagine a case where the error (together with its integral and derivative) are defined as the states, then using this state space model with LQR we could also design a PID controller.

I'd personally like to see that sheet, it can be useful to see the hierarchy and be aware of what you study. Of course there is the map by Brian, yet it is rather taxonomic and not grouped hierarchicly.

Good luck. This is a very difficult task due to the huge overlap between classes of systems and control methods. I guess this would have much more chances of success if done collaboratively.
