On the simultaneous stabilization of stochastic nonlinear systems

Abstract

SummaryIn this paper, the problem of simultaneous stabilization in probability by state feedback is investigated for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems whose drift and diffusion terms are dependent on the control and for which classical methods are not applicable. Under the assumption that a collection of stochastic control Lyapunov functions (SCLFs) is known and based on the generalized stochastic Lyapunov theorem, we derive sufficient conditions for the simultaneous stabilization in probability by a continuous state feedback controller that we explicitly compute. We also derive a necessary condition when the system coefficients satisfy some regularity conditions. This work generalizes previous results on the simultaneous stabilization of stochastic nonlinear systems. The obtained results are illustrated by a numerical example.
