PVTOL Lyapunov Stabilization and Domain of Attraction
Abstract This paper presents a simplified control strategy to stabilize the model of the planar vertical take-off and landing (PVTOL) nonlinear system. The stability analysis is based on a Lyapunov function and therefore exponential stability is ensured when the initial conditions belong to a domain of attraction which is also specified. A robustness analysis is presented based on the Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed control algorithm.
