This paper introduces a novel method for the automatic detection and handling of nonlinearities in a generic transformation. A nonlinearity index that exploits second-order Taylor expansions and polynomial bounding techniques is first introduced to estimate the Jacobian variation of a nonlinear transformation. This index is then embedded into a low-order automatic domain splitting algorithm that accurately describes the mapping of an initial uncertainty set through a generic nonlinear transformation by splitting the domain whenever nonlinearities grow above a predefined threshold. The algorithm is illustrated in the critical case of orbital uncertainty propagation, and it is coupled with a tailored merging process that limits the growth of the domains in time by recombining them when nonlinearities decrease. The low-order automatic domain splitting algorithm is then combined with Gaussian mixture models to accurately describe the propagation of a probability density function.
