Abstract :
This paper is presenting an overview of the theory of transformations from nonlinear systems to linear systems. Topics covered include (1) necessary and sufficient conditions for transformations to exist, (2) a method of constructing transformations, (3) robustness in design (based on transformation theory) and Lyapunov functions, (4) estimation theory, and (5) the relationship between transformation theory and "nonlinear zeroes." Application of these results to automatic flight control is presented in another paper at this session.
