Stabilization of a nonholonomic system via sliding modes

Uses an approach based on sliding mode control to design a feedback which stabilizes the origin for a class of nonlinear driftless systems of the form x/spl dot/=B(x)u. introduced by Brockett (1993). Brockett showed that these systems fail his necessary condition for the existence of smooth feedback.<<ETX>>
