| contents | This paper first demonstrates that applying standard incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) with incremental control allocation (ICA) to input nonaffine systems relies on an untenable linear approximation of the actuator model. It then shows that avoiding this issue, while retaining the static control allocation paradigm, generally requires solving a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. To address the associated online computational challenges, the paper subsequently presents a supervised learning-based approach. Numerical experiments on an example problem validate the identified limitations of standard INDI + ICA for input nonaffine systems, while also demonstrating that the proposed learning-based method provides an effective and computationally tractable alternative. |
