Set Stabilization Using Transverse Feedback Linearization

In this thesis we study the problem of stabilizing smooth embedded submanifolds in the state space of smooth, nonlinear, autonomous, deterministic control-affine systems. Our motivation stems from a realization that important applications, such as path following and synchronization, are best underst...
