Consider the time-varying nonlinear system of m. . , being g" vector fields on Rn+l.We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this system to be transformable to a time-invariant controllable linear system. In order to control the nonlinear system, we map to the linear system, choose a desired control there, and return to the nonlinear system by the inverse of the transformation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
