I have a MIMO system of order 14 with two inputs and two outputs.

I want to apply feedback linearisation to control it.

I have attempted this, and as a result I have a FBL system with a combined relative degree of 2 and 12 internal dynamic states.

I have attached the equations for the internal dynamics below.

(z1, z2 are the output states)

(z3-z14 are the internal dynamics states)

But I am quite lost at this point on how to proceed from here.

My questions are:

  • How do I go about analysing the stability of these internal dynamics? If it were just 1 internal dynamics state then I think I would be able to handle it. But with 12 I cant comprehend how to analyse it.
  • Also I understand parameter dependent uncertainties, it is when the parameters are not exactly known. But what are state dependent uncertainties? Don't states change all the time? So how does the notion of "state dependent uncertainty" apply?
  • Is it feasible to "robustify" a feedback linearised system such as this against state dependent and parameter dependent uncertainties?
  • What are some methods I could look into on how to robustify this system?
  • Any insights into this would be much appreicated.

    Thank you
