Most research has focused on invariances with respect to time-independent pointwise transformations like translational-invariance (u(t) -&gt; u(t) + p, p in R) or scale-invariance (u(t) -&gt; pu(t), p in R&gt;0). In this article, we introduce the concept of s0-invariances with respect to continuous input transformations exponentially growing/decaying over time. We show that s0-invariant systems not only encompass linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with transfer functions having an irreducible zero at s0 in R, but also that the input/output relationship of nonlinear s0-invariant systems possesses properties well known from their linear counterparts. Furthermore, we extend the concept of s0-invariances to second- and higher-order s0-invariances, corresponding to invariances with respect to transformations of the time-derivatives of the input, and encompassing LTI systems with zeros of multiplicity two or higher. Finally, we show that nth-order 0-invariant systems realize – under mild conditions – nth-order nonlinear differential operators: when excited by an input of a characteristic functional form, the system’s output converges to a constant value only depending on the nth (nonlinear) derivative of the input."}],"publist_id":"6391","publisher":"International Federation of Automatic Control","pubrep_id":"813","publication":"Automatica","external_id":{"isi":["000403513900006"]},"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"_id":"25681D80-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FP7","name":"International IST Postdoc Fellowship Programme","grant_number":"291734"}],"date_published":"2017-06-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0005-1098"]},"status":"public","ec_funded":1,"day":"01"}
