Semi-global output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems using homogeneous domination approach

This paper investigates the problem of semi-global stabilization by output feedback for a class of nonlinear systems using homogeneous domination approach. For each subsystem, we first design an output feedback stabilizer for the nominal system without the perturbing nonlinearities. Then, based on the ideas of the homogeneous systems theory and the adding a power integrator technique, a series of homogeneous output feedback stabilizers are constructed recursively for each subsystem and the closed-loop system is rendered semi-globally asymptotically stable. The efficiency of the output feedback stabilizers is demonstrated by a simulation example.
