SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS FOR STRONG STABILITY OF NONLINEAR TIME-VARYING CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH STATE DELAY

Abstract

This paper deals with a strong stability problem of a class of nonlinear time-varying control systems with state delays. Under appropriate growth conditions on the nonlinear perturbation, new sufficient conditions for the strong stabilizability are established based on the global null-controllability of the nominal linear system. These conditions are presented in terms of the solution of a standard Riccati differential equation. A constructive procedure for finding feedback stabilizing controls is also given.
