Small control property

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For applied mathematics, in nonlinear control theory, a non-linear system of the form is said to satisfy the small control property if for every there exists a so that for all there exists a so that the time derivative of the system's Lyapunov function is negative definite at that point.

In other words, even if the control input is arbitrarily small, a starting configuration close enough to the origin of the system can be found that is asymptotically stabilizable by such an input.
