Linearization of switched non-linear systems

Abstract

The problem of static state feedback linearization of switched non-linear systems is investigated. First, we consider the regular state feedback linearization. In this case, the single-input switched system is considered first. A necessary and sufficient condition is provided, which contains an uncertain single variable function. Then the result is extended to a multiple input case. Secondly, the problem of non-regular static state feedback linearization is considered. Using semi-tensor product, some easily verifiable sufficient conditions are obtained. Then some examples are presented to illustrate the linearization process.
