The present work establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a nonlinear system with two inputs to be described by a specific triangular form. Except for some regularity conditions, such triangular form is flat. This may lead to the…
This paper examines a broadly applicable triangular normal form for x-flat control-affine systems with two inputs. First, we show that this triangular form encompasses a wide range of established normal forms. Next, we prove that any x-flat…

We show that every flat nonlinear discrete-time system with two inputs can be transformed into a structurally flat normal form by state- and input transformations. This normal form has a triangular structure and allows to read off the flat…
In this paper, we give a complete geometric characterization of control systems, with m+1 inputs, locally static feedback equivalent to a triangular form compatible with the chained form, for m=1, respectively with the m-chained form, for…
We examine when differentially flat nonlinear control systems with more than two inputs can be rendered static feedback linearizable by a minimal number of prolongations of suitably chosen inputs after applying a static input…
In this paper, we give normal forms for flat two-input control-affine systems in dimension five that admit a flat output depending on the state only (we call systems with that property x-flat systems). We discuss relations of x-flatness in…
In this paper we consider $(x,u)$-flat nonlinear control systems with two inputs, and show that every such system can be rendered static feedback linearizable by prolongations of a suitably chosen control. This result is not only of…
We study the problem to provide a triangular form based on implicit differential equations for non-linear multi-input systems with respect to the flatness property. Furthermore, we suggest a constructive method for the transformation of a…
In this article, we introduce the notion of differential flatness by pure prolongation: loosely speaking, a system admits this property if, and only if, there exists a pure prolongation of finite order such that the prolonged system is…
We propose an algorithmic test to check whether a two-input system is linearizable by an endogenous dynamic feedback with a dimension of at most two. This test furthermore provides a procedure for systematically deriving flat outputs for…
In general, flat outputs of a nonlinear system may depend on the system's state and input as well as on an arbitrary number of time derivatives of the latter. If a flat output which also depends on time derivatives of the input is known,…
The purposes of this paper are to classify lower triangular forms and to determine under what conditions a nonlinear system is equivalent to a specific type of lower triangular forms. According to the least multi-indices and the greatest…
Prediction-based transformation is applied to control-affine systems with distributed input delays. Transformed system state is calculated as a prediction of the system's future response to the past input with future input set to zero.…
It is widely recognized that no tractable necessary and sufficient conditions exist for determining whether a system is, in general, differentially flat. However, specific cases do provide such conditions. For instance, driftless systems…
