STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF INVERSE MODELS REPRESENTED BY BOND GRAPH

Inverse models are widely used for control or design purposes. In both cases, the maximum order of differentiation of each output appearing in the model inversion constitutes relevant information since it characterizes the regularity of the trajectory to be followed. Although this property can be determined from algebraic manipulation of the model, this paper shows how it can be obtained directly from the bond graph model using graphical procedures.
