Abstract

The normal form is discussed for nonlinear systems affected by constant commensurate delays. Two different forms are argued. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions are given under which a nonlinear time-delay system can be decomposed into a (weakly) observable subsystem and a non observable subsystem. Whenever such a decomposition exists, additional conditions are required to ensure the feedback linearization of the weakly observable subsystem. Finally, a full characterization is derived for the nonlinear time delay system to have an unobservable subsystem not directly affected by the input and a weakly observable subsystem which is linearizable by feedback. The performed analysis is carried out within a new geometric framework recently introduced in the literature.
