This paper presents analysis results for control systems subject to oscillatory inputs, i.e., inputs of large amplitude and high frequency. The key results are a series expansion characterizing the averaged system and various Lie-algebraic conditions that guarantee the series can be summed. Some illustrative example systems provide insight into the results; control design applications are discussed in a companion paper.
Keywords: oscillatory control, averaging, geometric methods
