Control of the differentially flat lorenz system

This paper presents an approach for the control of the Lorenz system. We first show that the controlled Lorenz system is differentially flat and then compute the flat output of the Lorenz system. A two degree of freedom design approach is proposed such that the generation of full state feasible trajectory incorporates with the design of a tracking controller via the flat output. The stabilization of an equilibrium state and the tracking of a feasible state trajectory are illustrated.
