Abstract

We consider local feedback equivalence and local weak feedback equivalence of control systems. The later equivalence is up to local coordinate changes in the state space, local feedback transformations, and state dependent changes of the time scale. We show that, under such equivalence, there are only five nonequivalent local canonical forms (some with parameters) for generic control-affine systems in the plane. For a more general class of planar systems, excluding only a class of infinite codimension, we propose a general normal form. A subclass of such systems, including all systems of codimension 3, can be brought to canonical forms. We examine stabilizability of each of these canonical forms under smooth feedback. As stabilizability under smooth feedback is invariant under weak feedback equivalence, this solves the stabilizability problem for the above mentioned class of systems.
