Dynamic input-output decoupling of nonlinear control systems

The problem of dynamic input-output decoupling of nonlinear control systems is studied. Based on an analytic algorithm the authors obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem. The solution of the problem is constructed by applying a series of simple precompensations and linking maps. Some interesting connections with other approaches in nonlinear control theory are discussed. The authors also give a few (simple) examples to illustrate the methods used
