This method is based on the sequential nonlinear mapping into two-dimensional vectors of many-dimensional vectors which describe the present system states. The expressions for sequential nonlinear mapping are obtained. The mapping preserves the inner structure of distances between the vectors. Examples are given.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>states of a dynamic system</kwd><kwd>sequential detection of changes</kwd><kwd>sequential nonlinear mapping</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
