Nonlinear control

area of control theory which deals with systems that are nonlinear, time-variant, or both

approach to control of non-linear systems

visual representation used in non-linear control system analysis

nonlinear control method that forces the state of a system to follow a cross section in state space using a discontinuous control signal with variable structure

common approach used in controlling nonlinear systems; involves coming up with a transformation of the nonlinear system into an equivalent linear system through a change of variables and a suitable control input
