Flatness and defect of nonlinear systems: Introductory theory and examples
- International Journal of Control
, 1995
"... We introduce flat systems, which are equivalent to linear ones via a special type of feedback called endogenous. Their physical properties are subsumed by a linearizing output and they might be regarded as providing another nonlinear extension of Kalman’s controllability. The distance to flatness is ..."

is measured by a non-negative integer, the defect. We utilize differential algebra which suits well to the fact that, in accordance with Willems ’ standpoint, flatness and defect are best defined without distinguishing between input, state, output and other variables. Many realistic classes of examples
