Abstract Simultaneous H ∞ stabilization for a set of nonlinear systems in canonical form is dealt with by using control storage functions (CSF) in this paper. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of common quadratic CSFs for such systems are given. A systematically method for constructing common quadratic CSFs is developed. Based on common CSFs, continuous state feedback laws are designed to simultaneously H ∞ stabilize the single-input systems and multi-input systems, respectively. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.

Simultaneous stabilization problem arises frequently in practice. Due to parameter uncertainty, variation and various modes of the plant, a real system may hold several models and is switched from one to another during operation. Blondel[1] proved that the simultaneous stabilizability of more than two linear systems is rationally undecidable based on the frequency domain approach. Petersen[2] gave a nonlinear state feedback law to stabilize a set of singleinput linear systems simultaneously. For nonlinear systems, the simultaneous stabilization is generally more difficult. Ho-Mock-Qai et al.[3] established some relevant results for nonlinear systems. Wu[4] provided a method for designing a controller to simultaneously stabilize a set of single-input nonlinear systems. In Cai et al.[5] , we designed a continuous state feedback law to simultaneously stabilize a set of multi-input nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters. The simultaneous H ∞ stabilization problem is an extension of the simultaneous stabilization problem by incorporating an H ∞ performance criterion, such as in disturbance rejection. Specifically, a single controller is sought such that it simultaneously renders a set of systems being internally stable and satisfying an L2 - gain specification. In this sense, the simultaneous H ∞ stabilization problem is much more difficult than the problem of simultaneous stabilization without a performance criterion. For linear systems case, Savkin[6] gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the simultaneous H ∞ stabilization via nonlinear digital output feedback control. Miller et al.[7] considered the use of linear periodically time-varying controllers to solve the simultaneous H ∞ stabilization problem. Lee et al.[8] studied the simultaneous H ∞ stabilization problem via the chain scattering framework. Till now, few results have been published about simultaneous H ∞ stabilization nonlinear systems. In Wu[9] , a control storage function (CSF) method was developed for designing simultaneous H ∞ controller for a set of single-input nonlinear systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of simultaneous H ∞ controller were acquired. CSF method is motivated by the control Lyapunov function (CLF) method. The concept of a

CLF was introduced by Artstein[10] , which made a tremendous impact on stabilization theory. It converted stability descriptions into tools for solving stabilization tasks. Sontag[11] presented a universal feedback scheme by using the CLF. The CLF has been widely adopted in various design problems[4, 9, 12−15] . One difficulty in applying CLFs or CSFs for solving control problems is how to construct them. It is very important to identify those nonlinear systems in which corresponding CSFs exist and can be constructed systematically. In this paper, we restrict our attention to a set of nonlinear systems in the canonical form. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of common quadratic CSFs for such systems are given. A systematic method for constructing common quadratic CSFs is developed. Based on common CSFs, continuous state feedback laws are designed to simultaneously H ∞ stabilize the single-input systems and multi-input systems, respectively.

From the previous discussions, we know that the feedback control law (25) renders all the closed-loop systems satisfying the L2 - gain requirement (3). The following proves internal stability. Letting w = 0 and u in (25) and noting (26) yields x, u, 0) ≤ α(x x) + 2x xT P bgs (x x)u < 0 φs (x for any x = 0, and for all s ∈ {1, 2, · · · , q}. Therefore, all the closed-loop systems are internally stable.

Conclusion

This paper presents a novel method for constructing common quadratic CSFs for a set of nonlinear systems in canonical form. An algorithm is given to obtain common quadratic CSFs for such systems. Then continuous state feedback laws are designed to simultaneously H ∞ stabilize the single-input systems and multi-input systems, respectively. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed schemes is illustrated by a simulation example.
