Robust Stabilization for Single-Input Polytopic Nonlinear Systems

This note deals with the stabilization problem of single-input polytopic nonlinear systems. The robust control Lyapunov function approach is used to derive a sufficient condition for the existence of time-invariant, continuous, asymptotically stabilizing state feedback controllers. The obtained sufficient condition is proven also necessary for the existence of stabilizing state feedback controllers such that the closed-loop system has a robust Lyapunov function for all possible uncertainties. In addition, a universal formula for constructing stabilizing controllers when the presented sufficient condition is met is provided. The results are illustrated by a numerical example.
