A Generalized Framework for Global Output Feedback Stabilization of Genuinely Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, we introduce a generalized framework for global output feedback stabilization of a class of uncertain, genuinely nonlinear systems of a particularly complex nature since their linearization is not guaranteed to be either controllable or observable. Based on a subtle homogeneous observer/controller construction and homogeneous domination design, this new framework not only unifies the existing output feedback stabilization results [12], [14], but also leads to more general results which have never before been achieved.
