This paper considers the use of harmonic linearization as applied to the analysis of nonlinear automatic control systems. This approach, which has been proven in practical engineering applications, involves the replacement of a nonlinear equation by a linear equation. In establishing the method a small parameter is considered which makes it possible to speak with some degree of approximation of the solution of the new equation to that of the given linear equation. Thus, the mathematics of nonlinear mechanics is brought to bear on the problem by explaining and extending the usefulness of automatic control theory and nonlinear systems.
