In this paper, we are interested in linearization techniques for exact resolution of the Unconstrained Quadratic (0-1) Problem. Our purpose is to propose ”economical” linear formulations. We first extend the current techniques in a general linearization framework containing many other schemes and propose a new linear formulation. Numerical results comparing classical, Glover’s and the new linea...

The introduction of state equation model of the electrical machine based on direct and quadrature axes variables has paved the way for powerful control theories to be brought to bear on the problem of control of electric machines. Exact linearization has been applied to the control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). In this paper, application of approximate linearization is proposed ...

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...
