In this article, we study feedback linearization problems for nonlinear differential-algebraic control systems (DACSs). We consider two kinds of equivalences, namely, external equivalence, which is defined (locally) on the whole generalized state space, and internal locally maximal controlled invariant submanifold (i.e., set where solutions exist). define a notion called explicitation with driv...

A feedback control strategy is applied to enhance the performance of a laboratory-scale pulsed combustor operating near the lower flammability limit. As with many combustion processes, at lean conditions, combustion instabilities develop which result in complex, lowfrequency fluctuations in fuel concentration and lead directly to misfire and flameout. The control strategy exploits the highly no...
