In this paper, we develop a method to design the input control to track the output of a nonminimum-phase nonlinear systems asymptotically. The design of the control inputs is based on an exact linearization. To perform the exact linearization, the other output should be selected such that its relative degree is equal to the dimension of the system. Furthermore, the desired output of the output ...

The present paper discusses a linearization method for second order multidimensional time-invariant systems. The method approximates locally the nonlinear vector field around the equilibrium, where the solution starting from a given initial state near the equilibrium is approximated by a linear solution. This linearization is usually called local trajectory-based linearization. The approximatio...

In Müller, To Appear 2005b I provide evidence that suggests that linearization approaches or approaches that assume flat structures cannot account for the German clause structure in an insightful way. Analyses that make use of discontinuous constituents should therefore be revised. In this paper I develop an analysis of German depictive secondary predicates that differs from the one suggested i...

Exact feedback linearization converts any system into appropriate form such that the controller design becomes convenient for the system. In this technique, control algorithm is developed based on exact feedback linearization through energy control. This approach is applicable to under actuated in which single control input, acceleration of cart, controlled the angle and position of cart. This ...

Underactuated biped robots control is one of the interesting topics in robotics. The main difficulties are its highly nonlinear dynamics, open-loop instability, and discrete event at the end of the gait. One of the methods to control underactuated systems is the partial feedback linearization, but it is not robust against uncertainties and disturbances that restrict its performance to control b...

This paper addresses the analysis, design, and application of observer-based nonlinear controls by combining feedback linearization (FBL) and backstepping (BS) techniques with Luenberger observers. Complete development of observer-based controls is presented for a bioprocess. Controllers using input-output feedback linearization and backstepping techniques are designed first, assuming that all ...
