Global output feedback stabilisation for a class of upper triangular stochastic nonlinear systems

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of global output feedback stabilisation for a class of upper triangular stochastic nonlinear systems which are neither necessarily feedback linearisable nor affine in the control input. Based on the adding of a power integrator technique and homogeneous domination approach, an output feedback controller is explicitly constructed to ensure that the equilibrium at the origin of the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable in probability. A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design scheme.
