  • 680 From (6) one sees that there exists a function f(x) = z1 with df(x) ? ? n-1 such that is the coordinate frame. Now assume the switched system is linearizable, then under such a coordinate frame all the models have feedback linear forms.

Examples

  • We call (6) and its varying forms obtained by a linear coordinate transformation the feedback-linearizable form, because a state feedback can only convert it into a linear form.

  • Definition 3. System (19) is said to be (locally) non-regular static feedback-linearizable if it can be transformed into via state feedbacks with a ?(0) = 0, ?(x): mk, k<m, and a state space diffeomorphism.

  • In control theory, a system is considered linearizable if it can be transformed into a linear form for easier analysis.

  • When a mathematical function is linearizable, it allows us to approximate its behavior using linear equations.

  • The model is linearizable under certain conditions, making it easier to predict outcomes in engineering applications.

Morphology

linearizable = linearize (transparent) = linear + ize + able

The word 'linearizable' is transparently derived from 'linearize' with the addition of the suffix '-able', indicating capability.

Etymology

Linearizable comes from linear, which comes from line meaning 'line', and the ending -able meaning 'can be'. So something linearizable can 'be made like a line' or turned into a simple, straight form, which is why engineers use the word for systems you can model with simpler math.
