Identification of a nonlinear plant under nonlinear feedback using left coprime fractional based representations (Q1301383)

Based on the Youla-Kucera parameter description and on the possibility to convert the closed-loop plant identification to open-loop identification, one extends these results to the case when the models of the nominal plant and of the controller are nonlinear. This is possible by using a concept of differential coprimeness for the nonlinear fractional system description which enables to find a left coprime factorization based description of the set of all plant stabilized by a given controller, given a nominal plant model and a controller that are not necessarily linear.
