Global stabilization of nonlinear systems: A continuous feedback framework

From MaRDI portal





Motivated by the well-known fact that smooth stabilizing feedback laws do not exist in general, the authors derive a number of results for continuous but nonsmooth stabilizing feedback laws. Since the resulting closed-loop system might not admit unique solutions, a stability concept due to Kurzweil called strong stability [see \textit{J. Kurzweil}, Am. Math. Soc., Transl., II. Ser. 24, 19-77 (1963; Zbl 0127.30703)] is used, which essentially describes a global asymptotic stability property for systems without uniqueness. After recalling this concept and providing appropriate Lyapunov function characterizations the authors turn to their constructive procedure of feedback design called ``adding a power integrator, which is applicable to systems with a certain cascade structure. The proposed construction is illustrated by several examples. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0996.00057].
