Transformation and Chained Structure for a Class of Nonlinear Affine Control Systems

Abstract

This letter is devoted to derivation of a transformation law which converts a class of nonlinear affine control systems with n-states and 2-iputs into simpler systems with chained structure. First, we give a problem formulation that we consider throughout this letter. We next introduce a transformation law and gives its mathematical certification. Then, we apply the transformation method to an example and consider control design based on chained structure for the example in order to confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
