This paper deals with global asymptotic stabilization of continuous-time systems with quantized signals. A hybrid control strategy originating in earlier work relies on the possibility of making discrete on-line adjustments of quantizer parameters. We explore this method here for general nonlinear systems with general types of quantizers affecting the state of the system or the measured output.
