Input-to-Output Linearization of Explicit Control Systems with Constrained Measurements

Many design methods for non-linear control problems require the measurement of the whole state of the plant. This contribution deals with a refinement of the well established exact input-to-output linearization such that the control laws depend only on a predefined set of measurements. More precisely, we derive the determining equations for all static control laws, such that the input-to-output map from the new input to the new output is linear and such that the constraints concerning the measurements are met.
