Clarke, F. H. (ed.) et al., Nonlinear analysis, differential equations and control. Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute and séminaire de mathématiques supérieures, Montréal, Canada, July 27-August 7, 1998. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. NATO ASI Ser., Ser. C, Math. Phys. Sci. 528, 307-367 (1999).
This huge survey considers mainly the case of those nonlinear systems of the form \[ \dot x= f(x,u), \] whose equilibrium at the origin may be stabilized by non-stationary feedback as \[ u= u(x,t). \] Some usual feedback design tools such as control Lyapunov functions, damping, averaging, backstepping are presented. Applications to some nonlinear partial differential equations are given.
