GENERAL-APPROACH TO INPUT-OUTPUT PSEUDOLINEARIZATION FOR NONLINEAR-SYSTEMS

A nonlinear system is said to be input-output pseudolinearized if its family of linearizations about constant operating points has input-out put behavior that is independent of the particular operating point. Th e problem of constructing static state feedback laws that achieve inpu t-output pseudolinearization for a general class of nonlinear systems is considered, A generalization of the well-known structure algorithm to the case of parameterized families of linear systems plays an impor tant role.
