u = a(x) + b(x)v, (3) where b(x) is a nonsingular matrix, and v ∈ Rp is a transformed or virtual input, so that the inputoutput response between v and y is linear. This requirement is called input-output linearization because only the input-output map h is made linear. On the other hand, full state linearization refers to the case when the whole state x must be “linearized”. Linearization of th...

Maneuver Regulation, Transverse Feedback Linearization and Zero Dynamics Christopher Nielsen Masters of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2004 The maneuver regulation (or path following) problem has received considerable attention in the control literature where feedback linearization has proven an effective approach to solving the ...

New communications services have created a demand for highly linear high power amplifiers (HPA's). TWTA's continue to offer the best microwave HPA performance in terms of power, efficiency, size and cost, but lag behing solid state power amplifiers (SSAPs) in linearity. This paper discusses techniques for improving TWTA linearity. The significance and methods for evaluation of linearity are rev...

The nonlinearity and coupling of the missile dynamics can be linearized and decoupled by well known feedback linearization techniques. The fundamental problem of feedback linearization technique is not able to cater the model uncertainty. In accordance to this, a new robust nonlinear controller structure using feedback linearization technique is presented here. It linearizes the nonlinear dynam...

We study Siegel’s center problem on the linearization of germs of diffeomorphisms in one variable. In addition of the classical problems of formal and analytic linearization, we give sufficient conditions for the linearization to belong to some algebras of ultradifferentiable germs closed under composition and derivation, including Gevrey classes. In the analytic case we give a positive answer ...

Linearization is the procedure of rewriting a process term into a linear form, which consist only of basic operators of the process language. This procedure is interesting both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. In particular, a linearization algorithm is needed for the Compositional Interchange Format (CIF), an automaton based modeling language. The problem of devising efficient...

The linearization curve generation is an important step in printer color characterization. The typical purpose of the linearization curves in conventional four ink printing is to compensate for dot overlapping and dot size variations and therefore to accommodate the non-linearity of the printing process. In CcMmYK “photo” printing, the introduction of light cyan and magenta inks presents new ch...

In this paper, the problem of non-regular static state feedback linearization of nonlinear switched systems is considered. Using semi-tensor product, some easily verifiable sufficient conditions for non-regular feedback linearization are obtained. Then an example is presented to illustrate the non-regular linearization process.
