NONACODE is a Software Package for Analysis and Design of Nonlinear (Adaptive)
Control Systems with the Differential-Geometric Approach.

     We consider Nonlinear Systems belonging to the linear analytic class, of the 
form:

	x' = f(x) + g1(x) u1 + g2(x) u2 + ... + gm(x) um
	
	y1 = h1(x) ; y2 = h2(x) ; ... ; ym = hm(x)
	
     Both Lyapunov and Hyperstability based-on techniques for parameter adaptation 
can be used to solve the Adaptive Output Tracking Problem, when the system is
SISO, has parametric uncertainties, and relative degree one. Other control 
problems such as Output Tracking, Exact Linearization via State Feedback, 
Normal Form, and Nonlinear Observers, can also be solved for both SISO and 
MIMO systems, with the aid of NONACODE.";
