To illustrate the main intuitive idea behind feedback linearization, we start by considering the simple scalar system It is important to note that even if g(y) = 0 at a crucial part of the state-space ...

The primary CPU in all general-purpose devices (desktop, laptop, smartphone, etc.) are scalar processors. This type of processor is known as a "single instruction stream single data stream" (SISD ...

Some more advanced tools are then motivated and developed based on the tracking problem for a scalar system with two unknown nonlinearities.
