Sci. 281, 317-326 (2003). Summary: We obtain expressions for the logarithm of the Chen-Fliess series for a nonlinear control system. This logarithm provides an alternative to Sussmann’s exponential product expansion of the Chen-Fliess series. We also formulate a rule for generating the coefficient of any Lie brackets in the logarithm expansion.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0996.00057].
