Asymptotic nonlinear model matching

Abstract

The problem of matching a given input-output behavior for systems described by general nonlinear differential equations is considered. The paper complements previous work on the exact matching of a model for nonlinear systems. In particular, the authors investigate the case where the initial state does not belong to the appropriate submanifold of the state space where strong model matching is achieved. Conditions for the solvability of the asymptotic model matching are proposed.<>
