Nonlinear decoupling via feedback: A differential geometric approach

Abstract

The paper deals with the nonlinear decoupling and noninteracting control problems. A complete solution to those problems is made possible via a suitable nonlinear generalization of several powerful geometric concepts already introduced in studying linear multivariable control systems. The paper also includes algorithms concerned with the actual construction of the appropriate control laws.
