Research ArticleStatic feedback stabilization of nonlinear systems with single sensor and single actuator

- Static feedback stabilization of nonlinear systems is achieved via a single sensor and single actuator.
- Solutions to remote control are obtained though a Lyapunov function approach.
- Numerical example and practical implementation issues are discussed.

This paper considers a single sensor and single actuator approach to the static feedback stabilization of nonlinear systems. This is essentially a remote control problem that is present in many engineering applications. The proposed method solves this problem that is less expensive to implement and more reliable in practice. Significant results are obtained on the design of controllers for stabilizing the nonlinear systems. Important issues on control implementation are also discussed. The proposed design method is validated through its application to nonlinear control of aircraft engines.
