Jurdjevic-Quinn Conditions and Discontinuous Bounded Damping Control
ABSTRACT. This note presents a practical stabilization result for discontinuous damping control (or Jurdjevic-Quinn control), in the case where the bound on controls is small. The motivation is to estimate, as that bound goes to zero, how the time taken to reach a neighborhood of the target tends to infinity.
KEYWORDS: damping control, small control, low-thrust transfer
1. Introduction
For smooth control systems whose drift possesses a first integral V which is minimum at some desired configuration (this already makes that configuration Lyapunovstable for the system with zero control), a well known strategy to obtain asymptotic stability, called damping control, or Jurdjevic-Quinn control, consists in using the control to make V decrease; this strengthens stability of the desired configuration, and under some non-degeneracy assumptions, yields convergence, i.e. asymptotic stability. This is recalled in Section 2.
In general, there is a subset W of the state space where = 0 for any choice of the control, and at each point outside W, there is a choice of the control that renders negative (more precisely, at any such point, the control space ...
