Throughout this paper,Mdenotes a smooth manifold of dimensionn. We are given a control system onMof the form, m X ˙x=f(x, u) :=uifi(x),(1) i=1 wheref1,∙ ∙ ∙, fmare smooth vector fields onMand where the control
u= (u1,∙ ∙ ∙, um) m belongs toBm, the closed unit ball in IR . Throughout the paper, “smooth” ∞ means always “of classC”. Such a control system is said to beGlobally Asymptotically Controllableat the pointO∈M(abbreviated GAC in the sequel) if the following two properties are satisfied: 1. Attractivity: For eachx∈Mthere exists a controlu(∙) : IR≥0→Bmsuch that the corresponding trajectoryx(∙;x, u(∙)) of (1) tends toOasttends to infinity. 2. Lyapunov stability: For each neighborhoodVofO, there exists some neigh borhoodUofOsuch that ifx∈ Uthen the controlu(∙) above can be chosen such thatx(t;x, u(∙))∈ V,∀t≥0.
Example 1.The control system in the plane defined by
2 2 x˙ =u(x−y) y˙ =u(2xy), u∈[−1,1],
is GAC at the point (0,0). In fact, as shown in Figure 1, for (x, y)6= (0,0) in 2 2 the plane, the set{u(x−y ,2xy) :u∈[−1,1]}is a subinterval of the tangent space to the circle passing through (x, y) and (0,0) with center on theyaxis. The GAC property becomes obvious.
