This is the first book on a hot topic in the field of control of nonlinear systems. It ranges from mathematical system theory to practical industrial control applications and addresses two fundamental questions in Systems and Control: how to plan the motion of a system and track the corresponding trajectory inpresence of perturbations. It emphasizes on structural aspects and in particular on a class of systems called differentially flat. Part 1 discusses the mathematical theory and part 2 outlines applications of this method in the fieldsof electric drives (DC motors and linear synchronous motors), magnetic bearings, automotive equipments, cranes, and automatic flight control systems. The author offers web-based videos illustrating some dynamical aspects and case studies in simulation (Scilab and Matlab).
