Lyapunov function for the ball and beam: robustness property

A smooth control Lyapunov function for the ball and beam system is proposed. Its construction relies on extensions of nonlinear control design techniques called backstepping and forwarding. The smooth state feedbacks resulting from this approach yield closed-loop systems with strong robustness properties.
