Global Stabilizability Theorems on Discrete-Time Nonlinear Uncertain Systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the a basic class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with multiple unknown parameters. We claim that such a system is stabilizable if its nonlinear growth rate is dominated by a polynomial rule. This rule cannot be relaxed in general since it becomes a necessary and sufficient condition when the system has a polynomial form [10]. We further prove that the concerned stabilizable system is possible to grow exponentially fast. Meanwhile, optimality and closed-loop identification are also discussed herein.
