This claim is sometimes made only for the class of super-linearizations, which additionally require that the embedding "contain the state". We show that both versions of this claim are false by constructing (super-)linearizable smooth dynamical systems on ℝᵏ having any countable (finite) number of isolated equilibria for each k > 1.7 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
