Abstract: Feedback asymptotic stabilization of control systems is an important topic of control theory and applications. Broadly speaking, if the system $dotx=f(x,u)$ is locally asymptotically stabilizable, then there exists a feedback control $u(x)$ ensuring the convergence to an equilibrium for any trajectory starting from a point sufficiently close to the equilibrium state. In this paper, we develop a reasonably natural and general composition operator approach to stabilizability. To begin with, we provide an extension of the classical Hautus lemma to the generalized context of composition operators and show that Brockett's theorem is still necessary for local asymptotic stabilizability in this generalized framework. Further, we employ a powerful version of the implicit function theorem--as given by Jittorntrum and Kumagai--to cover stabilization without differentiability requirements in this expanded context. Employing the obtained characterizations, we establish relationships between stabilizability in the conventional sense and in the generalized composition operator sense. This connection allows us to show that the stabilizability of a control system is equivalent to the stability of an associated system. That is, we reduce the question of stabilizability to that of stability.
