Description

Given the Volterra series representation of a single input, single output nonlinear system, we examine conditions on the Volterra kernels that determine if the system is in some sense equivalent to a linear system. The systems considered herein are known as "feedback linearizable" systems. Feedback linearizable systems are usually discussed in terms of their state-space representations. A key result related the Volterra series description of a feedback linearizable system to its state-space description.
