Linearizable Feedforward Systems: A Special Class, Issa Amadou Tall
Miscellaneous (presentations, translations, interviews, etc)
We address the problem of linearizability of systems in feedforward form. In a recent paper [22] we completely solved the linearizability for strict feedforward systems. We extend here those results to a special class of feedforward systems. We provide an algorithm, along with explicit transformations, that linearizes the system by change of coordinates when some easily checkable conditions are met. We also re-analyze type II class of linearizable strict feedforward systems provided by Krstic in [9] and we show that this class is the unique linearizable among the class of quasi-linear strict feedforward systems (see Definition III.1). Our results allow …

Miscellaneous (presentations, translations, interviews, etc)
In this paper we address the problem of linearizability of systems in strict feedforward form. We provide an algorithm, along with explicit transformations, that linearizes a system by change of coordinates when some easily checkable conditions are met. Those conditions turn out to be necessary and sufficient, that is, if one fails the system is not linearizable. We revisit type I and type II classes of linearizable strict feedforward systems provided by Krstic in [6] and illustrate our algorithm by various examples mostly taken from [5], [6].
