Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of the stabilization for multi-input polytopic nonlinear systems. Based on the robust control Lyapunov function, a sufficient condition for the existence of time-invariant, continuous, asymptotically stabilizing state feedback controller is derived. It is shown that the obtained sufficient condition is also necessary if there exists a state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system has a robust Lyapunov function for all possible uncertainties. Moreover, a universal formula for constructing stabilizing controller is proposed and the existence of the corresponding Lyapunov function is proven. Particularly, a Lyapunov function is constructed for the polytopic nonlinear system in canonical form. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed control law is verified by a numerical example.
