Stabilization via dynamic output feedback for systems with output nonlinearities

Abstract The problem of asmptotically stabilizing a class of systems by means of continuous output feedback is considered. These systems are characterized by nonlinear terms, depending only on the ouputs. It is shown that for these systems stabilization via continuous state-feedback plus stabilization via output injection imply stabilization via continuous dynamic output-feedback . This generalizes a well-knwon result for linear systems.
