Research on Nonlinear Control Theory.

Abstract

This annual report briefly describes progress on research in nonlinear control theory. Results reported include the formulation of a new approach, called design by extended linearization, for the design of nonlinear feedback (state, or output) control laws for nonlinear systems. This approach can be based on the Volterra series input output representation, or, more generally, on the state equation representation of the system to be controlled. The design yields a closed-loop system whose linearizations about constant operating points have specified eigenvalues. Publications describing the results in details are listed.
