An LMI Technique for the Global Stabilization of Nonlinear Polynomial Systems

Abstract

This paper deals with the global asymptotic stabilization of nonlinear polynomial systems within the framework of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). By employing the well-known Lyapunov stability direct method and the Kronecker product properties, we develop a technique of designing a state feedback control law which stabilizes quadratically the studied systems. Our main goal is to derive sufficient LMI stabilization conditions which resolution yields a stabilizing control law of polynomial systems.
