Can someone do this step by step... the linearization part, particularly?
A dynamical system with an input signal u is described by the following pair of differential equations:
5x + 0.5 tan y - xy^2 = 0
(x^2+1)y + 8xxy + 3x = u.
(i) Linearize this system around an equilibrium point that corresponds to y = 0.
Hint: Start by writing the system in its state space representation (it has 4 states) and use Proposition 3.4 to characterize its equilibrium points. Introduce deviation variables if necessary.
(ii) Determine the poles of the transfer function of the linearized system.
(iii) Show that a P-controller is not a suitable choice for this.
