Nonlinear interaction and dynamic compensators

The main difference between a linear system and a nonlinear system is the existence of direct interactions between input signals. These interactions will be classified into three types, (1) self-interaction among different order terms of control signals, (2) static mutual interactions between the control signals, and (3) dynamic interactions through the coefficient venctor fields of the control variables. In this paper, we will show that interactions of type (2) and (3) can be avoided by applying an appropriate dynamic compensator, while the interaction of type (1) is fatal.
