Abstract :
We use the concept of satisficing decision theory to develop stabilizing state feedback control strategies for nonlinear systems. The result is a pointwise "satisficing" set of control options from which a continuous feedback strategy can be selected. We show that the set of continuous "satisficing" control strategies can be parameterized by two continuous functions that are bounded by unity. In addition, we show that every satisficing control also defines a universal formula in the sense defined by Sontag (1983)
