Abstract
Symbolic languages are increasingly being used in the analysis and imp lementation of control algorithms. Many of these control procedures in volve some type of differentiation or Jacobian formulation. Automatic differentiation provides an alternative means of computing this inform ation which is rarely considered in the control literature. This corre spondence will discuss the use of automatic differentiation. Numerical results comparing the use of automatic differentiation and symbolic a pproaches in the context of a particular nonlinear control system will be given.
