title = "Output-feedback stabilization of a class of uncertain non-minimum-phase nonlinear systems",
abstract = "The problem of global output-feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems whose zero dynamics are not necessarily stable is addressed in this paper. It is shown that, using a novel observer design tool together with standard backstepping and small-gain techniques, it is possible to design a stabilizing output feedback controller which ensures robustness with respect to dynamic uncertainties. The proposed stabilization method generalizes existing tools in several directions. As an example, the method is applied to the stabilization of the benchmark translational oscillator/rotational actuator (TORA) using only measurements of the rotational position.",

note = "Funding Information: Dr Jiang received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics from the University of Wuhan, China, in 1988, the M.Sc. degree in statistics from the Universit{\'e} Paris-Sud, Paris, France, in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control and mathematics from the {\'E}cole des Mines de Paris, France, in 1993. From 1993 to 1998 he held visiting researcher positions in several institutions including INRIA (Sophia-Antipolis), France, the Department of Systems Engineering in the Australian National University, Canberra, and the Department of Electrical Engineering in the University of Sydney. In 1998 he also visited several U.S. universities. In January 1999 he joined the Polytechnic University at Brooklyn as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, and since 2002 he has been an Associate Professor. His main research interests include stability theory, the theory of robust and adaptive nonlinear control, and their applications to underactuated mechanical systems, congestion control, and wireless networks. In these areas he has (co)authored 4 book chapters, 70 journal papers and numerous peer-reviewed conference papers. Currently, Dr Jiang is Subject Editor for the International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, and Associate Editor for Systems & Control Letters and IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board from 2000 to 2002. Dr Jiang is a recipient of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship Award from the Australian Research Council, the CAREER Award from the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the JSPS Invitation Fellowship from the Japan Society for Promotion of Science.
