Global Asymptotic Trajectory Tracking and Point Stabilization of Asymmetric Underactuated Ships with Non-Diagonal Inertia/Damping Matrices

In this work, we investigate the trajectory tracking and point stabilization problems of asymmetric underactuated surface ships with non-diagonal inertia and damping matrices. By combining the novel state and input transformations, the direct Lyapunov approach, and the nonlinear time-varying tools,...
