Asymptotic controllability implies continuous-discrete time feedback stabilizability.

From MaRDI portal





The paper examines the stabilizability of a nonlinear system \(\frac{dx}{dt}=f(x,u)\), when asymptotic controllability holds but stabilizability with a continuous state feedback may not be possible. In a pioneering article, \textit{F. H. Clarke}, \textit{Yu. S. Ledyaev}, \textit{E. D. Sontag} and \textit{A. I. Subbotin} [IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 42, 1394--1407 (1997; Zbl 0892.93053)] developed a feedback method based on piecewise constant controls and showed that such feedback stabilization is implied by asymptotic controllability. If, however, the length of the intervals on which the control is constant is bounded away from zero, the method implies practical stabilization only. The present paper extends the scope of the method, allowing feedback which is continuous in the state and piecewise continuous in the time variable. A construction employing Lyapunov-like functions shows then that, with the extended notion of feedback, asymptotic controllability implies stabilization. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0953.00023].
