Abstract

Malisoff and Sontag proposed a universal control formula for a nonlinear system such that the k-norm of inputs is less than one, where 1<k<=2. We have generalized the Malisoff's formulaso that it can be applied in any case of k>=1. However, the generalized controller may become discontinuous if k=1 or k=infinity. In this paper, we propose a new control formula that is continuous except the origin in any case of k>=1. We also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed controller by computer simulation.
