On measuring closed-loop nonlinearity : a topological approach using the v-gap metric

All chemical processes are inherently nonlinear. However, a nonlinear process does not necessarily require a nonlinear control since the feedback control itself has a certain degree of linearizing effect. This leads to an interesting and often subtle question: "When is a linear controller suffi...
