Feasibility and regularity analysis of safe stabilizing controllers under uncertainty
P. Mestres, J. Cortés
Automatica 167 (2024), 111800


Abstract

This paper studies the problem of safe stabilization of control-affine systems under uncertainty. Our starting point is the availability of worst-case or probabilistic error descriptions for the dynamics, a control barrier function (CBF) and a control Lyapunov function (CLF). These descriptions give rise to second-order cone constraints (SOCCs) whose simultaneous satisfaction guarantees safe stabilization. We study the feasibility of such SOCCs and the regularity properties of various controllers satisfying them.
