Glocal Linearization for Feedback Control for Significantly Nonlinear Systems

Closed-loop control of nonlinear systems is typically performed by combining a number of linear controllers, each designed to perform well around an operating point. Although this solution generally works in many cases, there are some important practical applications, e.g. in diesel engine control or in robotics in which it fails and leads to serious performance degradation or outright instability during rapid transition between two operating points. This project aims at developing a systematic way to design a readily and easily applicable solution to this important practical problem.
