Exponential stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems: A generalized Gronwall–Bellman lemma approach

In this paper, stabilizing control design for a class of nonlinear affine systems is presented by using a new generalized Gronwall–Bellman lemma approach. The nonlinear systems under consideration can be non Lipschitz. Two cases are treated for the exponential stabilization: the static state feedback and the static output feedback. The robustness of the proposed control laws with regards to parameter uncertainties is also studied. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
