Recalls on nonlinear control systems theory: linearizing feedback, zero-dynamics, state observers. Input-to-State Stability (ISS). Integral Input-to-State Stability. Lyapunov-Sontag criterium for ISS. Actuator disturbance attenuation. Artstein theory for controller project by means of Lyapunov functions. Sontag’s universal formula for the construction of a stabilizer. Practical stabilization in the sample-and-hold sense by means of steepest descent feedbacks (continuous or not).
