Title:On Parametrizations for a Special Class of Nonlinear SystemsAuthor(s):Markus Schöberl, Kurt SchlacherAbstract:We analyze a constructive procedure to find a system parametrization for a special class of nonlinear control systems. The key feature of the algorithm will be the derivation of coordinate transformations that guarantee that several variables turn out to be not differentiated and can therefore be eliminated. In this context the class of affine derivative systems (AD-systems) will play a prominent role. Elimination of variables in general leads to implicit systems which might not be in affine derivative form. Therefore it is of interest to analyze if elimination is also possible such that the AD-structure is preserved. The suggested ideas will be demonstrated on several examples of nonlinear control systems with three states and two inputs.Booktitle:CD Proceedings IFAC Symposium on Nonlinear Control Systems, NOLCOS 2010Page Reference:page 1261-1266, 6 page(s)Publishing:2010
