Lesson 23 Linearization and Discretization of Nonlinear Systems
Summary
Many real-world systems are continuous-time in nature and quite a few are also nonlinear. The purpose of this lesson is to explain how to linearize and discretize a nonlinear differential equation model. We do this so that we will be able to apply our digital estimators to the resulting discrete-time system.
A nonlinear dynamical system is linearized about nominal values of its state vector and control input. For example, x*(t) denotes the nominal value of x(t); it must provide a good approximation to the actual behavior of the system. The approximation is considered good if the difference between the nominal and actual solutions can be described by a set of linear differential ...
