Decoupling normalizing transformations and local stabilization of nonlinear systems. (English) Zbl 0863.34013
Systems of the form $\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}x = Ax +\Phi(x,y),$ $\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}y = By +\Psi(x,y)$ are investigated where $$x\in\mathbb{R}^m,y\in\mathbb{R}^n$$, $$A\in L(\mathbb{R}^m, \mathbb{R}^m)$$ is a linear operator on $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ with $$A=-A^T$$, the eigenvalues of $$B\in L(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R}^n)$$ have negative parts, $$\Phi, \Psi$$ are at least $$C^3$$ vanishing together with their derivatives at the origin. It is shown that there is a normalizing transform completely decoupling the stable and center manifold dynamics of the system into two independent systems of the form $\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}\widetilde x = A\widetilde x +\widetilde\Phi(\widetilde x,h(\widetilde x)),$ $\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}\widetilde y = B\widetilde y +\widetilde\Psi(\widetilde x,\widetilde y).$ Some conditions for the local stabilization of the system are presented.
