Piecewise-constant stabilization of systems linear in control (Q1319785)

A multidimensional nonstationary continuous nonlinear stochastic system, linear in the control vector defined on some interval, is considered. The problem is to stabilize the system near a trajectory in the presence of unobservable, additive disturbances. The system is replaced with a close finite-dimensional system by Galerkin's method using a basis of piecewise-constant functions, so that the simple form of the approximating system makes it possible to construct a stabilizing regulator. The finite-dimensional system is then stabilized using the constructed regulator, which can be applied directly to the original system under certain additional restrictions.
