            Abstract : 
In this paper, we study a general class of strict feedback nonlinear systems, where the input signal takes quantized values. We consider a stabilization problem for nonlinear uncertain systems via adaptive backstepping approach. The control design is achieved by introducing a hysteretic quantizer to avoid chattering and using backstepping technique. A guideline is derived to select the parameters of the quantizer. The designed controller together with the quantizer ensures the stability of the closed-loop system in the sense of signal boundedness.
