Introduction to Control Systems Analysis Using Point Symmetries: An Application of Lie Symmetries

Robustness analysis of nonlinear systems is, at present, the subject of intense study. Though largely open at present, questions of system robustness must be addressed as system complexity and nonlinearity grow. In attempting to answer some of these questions and suggest new directions, much research is focused on affine dynamic control systems. The first part of this book presents the one-parameter transformation Lie groups to model nonlinear systems that can lead to a clearer understandin...
