| Minimum-Phase Nonlinear Systems: A New Definition (2007) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| This paper introduces and studies a new denition of the minimum-phase property for general smooth nonlinear control systems. The denition does not rely on a particular choice of coordinates in which the system takes a normal form or on the computation of zero dynamics. In the spirit of the \input-to-state stability" philosophy, it requires the state and the input of the system to be bounded by a suitable function of the output and derivatives of the output, modulo a decaying term depending on initial conditions. The class of minimum-phase systems thus dened includes all ane systems in global normal form whose internal dynamics are input-to-state stable and also all left-invertible linear systems whose transmission zeros have negative real parts. As an application, we explain how the new concept enables one to develop a natural extension to nonlinear systems of a basic result from linear adaptive control. 1 Introduction A linear, single-input/single-output (SISO) system is... | |||||||||||||||
