Model Matching and Factorization for Nonlinear Systems: A Structural Approach

Abstract

The model matching and the left factorization problems for nonlinear systems are investigated using an approach based on the structural algorithm. Sufficient conditions for the solvability of the first and necessary conditions, which in some cases and from a local point of view are also sufficient, for that of the second problem are found in terms of equalities between ranks or structures at infinity.
