A Koopman-theoretic approach towards Data-driven Feedback Linearization

2026

Abstract

Feedback Linearization is challenging to implement in practice due to the need for an accurate model of the system. To overcome this challenge, we present a Koopman-theoretic approach to feedback linearization, that complements the data-driven methods that approximate Koopman representations. Specifically, the solution to feedback linearization is shown to admit a spectral decomposition in terms of Koopman eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. This results in the development of sufficient conditions under which an exact solution to feedback linearization is guaranteed with finite Koopman representations. We additionally address the practicalities associated with the data-driven implementation of the proposed approach, and demonstrate the proposed method on several numerical examples, including a robotic manipulator.

Numerical analysis

Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). It is the study of numerical methods that attempt at finding approximate solutions of problems rather than the exact ones. Numerical analysis finds application in all fields of engineering and the physical sciences, and in the 21st century also the life and social sciences, medicine, business and even the arts.

Numerical stability

In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, numerical stability is a generally desirable property of numerical algorithms. The precise definition of stability depends on the context. One is numerical linear algebra and the other is algorithms for solving ordinary and partial differential equations by discrete approximation. In numerical linear algebra, the principal concern is instabilities caused by proximity to singularities of various kinds, such as very small or nearly colliding eigenvalues.

Numerical integration

In analysis, numerical integration comprises a broad family of algorithms for calculating the numerical value of a definite integral, and by extension, the term is also sometimes used to describe the numerical solution of differential equations. This article focuses on calculation of definite integrals. The term numerical quadrature (often abbreviated to quadrature) is more or less a synonym for numerical integration, especially as applied to one-dimensional integrals.
