A general approach to input-output pseudolinearization for nonlinear systems

A nonlinear system is said to be input-output pseudolinearized if its family of linearizations about constant operating points has input-output behavior that is independent of the particular operating point. The problem of constructing static state feedback laws that achieve input-output pseudolinearization for a general class of nonlinear systems is considered. A generalization of the well-known structure algorithm to the case of parameterized families of linear systems plays an important role.
