Piecewise-Constant Stabilization

From MaRDI portal





In this paper the author addresses the feedback stabilization problem for continuous-time and discrete-time nonlinear control systems. After presenting necessary conditions for the stabilization via smooth feedbacks, the author turns to the main topic, which is the stabilization via piecewise constant feedback laws, i.e. mappings \(u: \mathbb R^n\to U\) for which a partitioning \(V_i\), \(i\in I\), of the state space exists such that \(u| _{V_i}\) is constant for each \(i\in I\). The main result of the paper states that a (locally) stabilizing piecewise constant feedback exists if and only if the system is Lyapunov stably (locally) controllable to the equilibrium by piecewise constant (now in time) open loop controls. The feedback realizing this property is explicitly constructed from these open loop controls on shrinking neighbourhoods around the origin and the result is well illustrated by a number of examples.
