Abstract

Nonlinear systems are ubiquitous in real-world applications, but the control design for them is not an easy task. Hence, methods are sought to transform a nonlinear system into linear or bilinear forms to alleviate the problem of nonlinear controllability and control design. While there are linearization techniques like Carleman linearization for embedding a finite-dimensional nonlinear system into an infinite-dimensional space, they depend on the analytic property of the vector fields and work only on polynomial space. The Koopman-based approach described here utilizes the Koopman canonical transform (KCT) to transform the dynamics and ensures bilinearity from the projection of the Koopman operator associated with the control vector fields on the eigenspace of the drift Koopman operator. The resulting bilinear system is then subjected to controllability analysis using the Myhill semigroup method and Lie algebraic structures.
