Abstract
In this paper we present sufficient conditions for the solvability of the static-output feedback stabilization problem for affine nonlinear systems using a factorization approach. We extend the results of (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control, Vol. 47, No. 12, pp. 2038-2041(2002)) to include disturbance-attenuation and singular control. The sufficient conditions given are also less stringent than the ones given in (IEEE Trans. Autom. Control Vol. 47, No. 12, pp. 2038-2041 (2002)). The usefulness of the results are also illustrated with some examples.
