Stabilization of a class of nonlinear stochastic systems (Q5915348)

Sufficient conditions for the existence of control Lyapunov functions are provided. The aim is to extend known sufficient conditions for the existence of a control Lyapunov function, when the asymptotic feedback stabilization for a class of deterministic systems of the form \[ \dot x= F(x)+ uH(x) \] with \(F= (f^*_1, f_2)^*\), \(H= (0,h)^*\) (\(*\) stands for transpose) and mappings \(f_1: \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\), \(f_2: \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}\), \(h: \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}\) is given. This paper has four sections. Section 1 recalls some results on the stochastic Lyapunov stability in probability for the solution of a stochastic differential equation. In section 2 the class of stochastic system deal with in the paper is introduced. Section 3 states and proves the main results. Section 4 gives some examples illustrating the results established previously.
