Received on May 24, 2006; The problem of linear equivalence for a general class of non-linear systems is examined throughout this paper. A relevant algorithm is developed based on a factorization procedure. This factorization is based on the star product, an operation corresponding to the cascade connection of systems.
Keywords: non-linear; discrete; factorization; algebraic geometry; computational; linearization; simplification; open-loop systems.
