Abstract: This thesis concerns modeling and control of bilinear systems (BLS). BLS are linear but not jointly linear in state and control. In the first part of the thesis, a background to BLS and their applications to modeling and control is given. The second part, and likewise the principal theme of this thesis, is dedicated to theoretical aspects of identification, modeling and control of mainly BLS, but also linear systems. In the last part of the thesis, applications of bilinear and linear modeling and control to the activated sludge process (ASP) are given.
