Abstract
It is shown that every asymptotically controllable system can be
globally stabilized by means of some (discontinuous) feedback law. The
stabilizing strategy is based on pointwise optimization of a smoothed
version of a control-Lyapunov function, iteratively sending trajectories
into smaller and smaller neighborhoods of a desired equilibrium. A major
technical problem, and one of the contributions of the present paper,
concerns the precise meaning of “solution” when using a
discontinuous controller
