Further results on global state feedback stabilization of high-order nonlinear systems with time-varying delays

This paper considers the problem of global stabilization by state feedback for a class of high-order nonlinear systems with time-varying delays. Comparing with the existing relevant literature, the systems under investigation allow more uncertainties, to which the existing control methods are inapplicable. By introducing sign function and necessarily modifying the method of adding a power integrator, a state feedback controller is successfully constructed to preserve the equilibrium at the origin and guarantee the global asymptotic stability of the resulting closed-loop system. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
