Discontinuous feedback law

Stabilizability in optimization problems with unbounded data

In this paper we extend the notions of sample and Euler stabilizability to a set of a control system to a wide class of systems with unbounded controls, which includes nonlinear control-polynomial systems. In particular, we allow discontinuous stabilizing feedbacks, which are unbounded approaching the target. As a consequence, sampling trajectories may present a chattering behaviour and Euler solutions have in general an impulsive character.

Stabilizability in optimal control

We extend the classical concepts of sampling and Euler solutions for control systems associated to discontinuous feedbacks by considering also the corresponding costs. In particular, we introduce the notions of Sample and Euler stabilizability to a closed target set Cwith(p, W) -regulated cost, for some continuous, state-dependent function W and some constant p> 0 : it roughly means that we require the existence of a stabilizing feedback K such that all the corresponding sampling and Euler solutions starting from a point z have suitably defined finite costs, bounded above by W(z) / p.
