Stabilization of Underactuated Surface Vessels: A Continuous Fractional Power Control Method

This paper investigates the problem of global asymptotic stabilization of underactuated surface vessels (USVs) whose dynamics features off-diagonal inertia and damping matrices. By using input and state transformations, the dynamic model of USV is converted into an equivalent system consisting of tw...
