Abstract

This article deals with the transformation of a class of nonlinear systems into an extended nonlinear observable canonical form (ENOCF) by dynamic extension. The dynamic extension is obtained by adding auxiliary dynamics and virtual outputs to the original system, thus giving rise to a higher dimensional system in an extended state space. Sufficient geometrical conditions to guarantee the existence of a local diffeomorphism which allow the transformation of the extended system into the ENOCF are given. In particular, an algorithm that permits us to compute such a diffeomorphism is derived.
