(6.16) and (6.17). The comments made earlier for the one-dimensional case apply also here: 1. The approximation deteriorates as the point (x), x2) moves away from the point (x,», x.) of linearization. 2. The linearized approximate model depends on the point (1, x29) around which we make the Taylor series expansion. Let us now express the linearized system in terms of deviation variables. Sclect the steady state (x1, 1.) a8 the point around which you will make the linearization [i.e., in eqs. (6.18) and (6.19) put Xo Xi and x29 ® X24). At the steady state, eqs.
