State feedback control of nonlinear systems: a simple approach

A simple methodology for the design of state feedback controllers for nonlinear continuous-time systems is introduced. The objective is to develop controllers that drive a nonlinear system from an initial condition into an assigned region of state space. It is shown that such state feedback controll...

Description
Summary:	A simple methodology for the design of state feedback controllers for nonlinear continuous-time systems is introduced. The objective is to develop controllers that drive a nonlinear system from an initial condition into an assigned region of state space. It is shown that such state feedback controllers can be derived by solving a set of inequalities obtained directly from quantities given in the controlled system's equation. The results are applied to the design of state feedback controllers that achieve robust asymptotic stabilisation for a rather general class of nonlinear systems.
