Abstract
This paper applies the concept of linear feedback equivalence to two-dimensional nonlinear control systems of a certain model structure. Uniqueness and stability characteristics of the system are investigated. It is shown that global asymptotic stability can in general be achieved. A simple mathematical expression for a component of the unique steady-state is derived which provides a guide for the choice of the control parameters to obtain desirable dynamic properties and minimize steady-state offset. Numerical experiments in the phase plane of a model of an exothermic CSTR are employed to verify the analysis.
