TY - JOUR AU - Tran, Thanh T AB - This paper investigates an equivalence between feedback linearization and backstepping control. Implications from equivalence are that stability and performance properties of one method are the same for another method. Thus, a property known to exist only for one method could be used to prove property also holds for another. Also, a suspected advantage of one method over the other could be proven to be a false conjecture. Control laws in both approaches are achieved by coordinate transformations and non-linear feedbacks. Further, resulting non-linear feedback control law achieved by feedback linearization method matches exactly with non-linear controller achieved by the backstepping control design. This equivalence is a general analytical match within the specific class of non-linear dynamic systems under investigation. Demonstrations are considered and validated via flight control of longitudinal dynamics of a high performance aircraft simulation model. Algorithms are tested and evaluated with analytical models and non-linear closed-loop simulation.
