This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research on the foundations of "super-linearization" of nonlinear dynamical systems. The research aims to leverage linear system theory to address challenges in analyzing and controlling complex nonlinear dynamics, with applications spanning diverse fields such as fluid dynamics, epidemiology, robotics, and power grids. The project, led by The Washington University, will establish the groundwork for a unified theory of super-linearization, which involves transforming nonlinear systems into higher-dimensional linear systems. The research comprises three interconnected thrusts focused on the existence, computation, and implementation of super-linearization. In addition, the project includes a robust outreach plan to introduce the concept of super-linearization to a broader control community and provide research opportunities for undergraduate students. The award period runs from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
