Uniform global asymptotic stabilisation of bilinear non-homogeneous periodic systems with stable free dynamics

Abstract

ABSTRACTWe study the problem of uniform global asymptotic stabilisation of the origin for bilinear non-homogeneous control systems with periodic coefficients by means of state feedback. We assume that the free dynamic system is Lyapunov stable. We obtain new controllability-like rank conditions, which are sufficient for uniform global asymptotic stabilisation of the periodic bilinear systems. The proof is based on the use of the Krasovsky–La Salle invariance principle for periodic systems. A stabilising feedback control law is quadratic in the state variable and periodic in the time variable. Consequences derived for linear and homogeneous bilinear systems. Under some assumptions, the controllability-like rank condition for linear and homogeneous bilinear systems coincides correspondingly with the property of complete controllability and consistency.
