Normal Forms For Nonlinear Discrete Time Control Systems, Boumediene Hamzi, Issa Amadou Tall Dec 2003

Normal Forms For Nonlinear Discrete Time Control Systems, Boumediene Hamzi, Issa Amadou Tall

Miscellaneous (presentations, translations, interviews, etc)

We study the feedback classification of discrete-time control systems whose linear approximation around an equilibrium is controllable. We provide a normal form for systems under investigation.


Controllability And Local Accessibility—A Normal Form Approach, Wei Kang, Mingqing Xiao, Issa Amadou Tall Oct 2003

Controllability And Local Accessibility—A Normal Form Approach, Wei Kang, Mingqing Xiao, Issa Amadou Tall

Articles and Preprints

Given a system with an uncontrollable linearization at the origin, we study the controllability of the system at equilibria around the origin. If the uncontrollable mode is nonzero, we prove that the system always has other equilibria around the origin. We also prove that these equilibria are linearly controllable provided a coefficient in the normal form is nonzero. Thus, the system is qualitatively changed from being linearly uncontrollable to linearly controllable when the equilibrium point is moved from the origin to a different one. This is called a bifurcation of controllability. As an application of the bifurcation, systems with a …


Feedback Classification Of Nonlinear Single-Input Control Systems With Controllable Linearization: Normal Forms, Canonical Forms, And Invariants, Issa Amadou Tall, Witold Respondek Jan 2003

Feedback Classification Of Nonlinear Single-Input Control Systems With Controllable Linearization: Normal Forms, Canonical Forms, And Invariants, Issa Amadou Tall, Witold Respondek

Articles and Preprints

We study the feedback group action on single-input nonlinear control systems. We follow an approach of Kang and Krener based on analyzing, step by step, the action of homogeneous transformations on the homogeneous part of the same degree of the system. We construct a dual normal form and dual invariants with respect to those obtained by Kang. We also propose a canonical form and a dual canonical form and show that two systems are equivalent via a formal feedback if and only if their canonical forms (resp., their dual canonical forms) coincide. We give an explicit construction of transformations bringing …
