Tsinias, J. Existence of control Lyapunov functions and applications to state feedback stabilizability of nonlinear systems. (English) Zbl 0785.93080 SIAM J. Control Optimization 29, No. 2, 457-473 (1991). Summary: The asymptotic and practical stabilization for the affine in the control nonlinear systems, which extends the results of Artstein, Sontag and Tsinias is explored. Sufficient conditions for the existence of control Lyapunov functions are presented guaranteeing stabilization. The corresponding feedback laws are smooth, except possibly at the equilibrium of the system.
