Abstract

For finite-dimensional nonlinear control systems we study the relation between asymptotic null-controllability and control Lyapunov functions. It is shown that control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) may be constructed on the domain of asymptotic null-controllability as viscosity solutions of a first order PDE that generalizes Zubov's equation. The solution is also given as the value function of an optimal control problem from which several regularity results may be obtained.
