Constructive Stabilization of Quadratic-Input Nonlinear Systems with Bounded Controls

Abstract

In this paper, the stabilization of quadratic-input nonlinear systems with bounded controls is considered. According to the type of quadratic-input forms, two cases, namely, positive definite and positive semi-definite, are considered. For the case of positive definiteness, a universal formula for bounded stabilizers is given via a known Lyapunov control function. For the case of positive semidefiniteness, a constructive parametrization of bounded stabilizers is proposed under the assumption that there exists a known Lyapunov control function with respect to a smaller control set than the admissible control set.
