Abstract :
We study the problem of semiglobally stabilizing uncertain nonlinear system z˙=Az+Bu+p1(z, u)u and y=z+p2(z,u)u, With pj(z,0)=0, j=1,2, and (A, B) in Brunowski form. We prove that if p1(z, u)u and p2(z,u)u are of at least order one and zero, respectively, with respect to the “generalized” dilation δ1 (z, u)=(l1-nz1, ..., l-1zn-1 ,zn, lu), where zi is the i-th component of z, then we can achieve semiglobal stabilization via arbitrarily bounded measurement feedback
