Abstract :
The piecewise linear method of nonlinear control systems analysis is developed by invoking an engineering oriented approach, rather than the classical mathematical treatment. A simple but formalistic procedure is suggested to facilitate the analytical investigations of a wide variety of control loops containing discontinuous nonlinearities.
