Abstract

We consider the time optimal stabilization problem for a nonlinear control system . Let be the minimum time needed to steer the system from the state to the origin, and call the set of initial states that can be steered to the origin in time . Given any , in this paper we construct a patchy feedback such that every solution of , reaches an -neighborhood of the origin within time .

Résumé

On considère un problème de stabilization en temps optimal pour un système de commandé non-linéaire du type . Notons par le temps minimal nécessaire pour aller de à l'origine, et par l'ensemble des tels que . Pour chaque , on construit un feedback de type patchy tel que toutes les solutions de , atteignent un -voisinage de l'origine en temps au plus .
