Now, the feedback control law (11.135) is obtained by setting

∂u
= 0. With
(11.135), it follows that (11.132) and (11.133) imply (11.99), and (11.100),
respectively. Next, since V (·) is continuously differentiable and x = 0 is
a local minimum of V (·), it follows that V
′
(0) = 0, and hence, since by
assumption L
2
(0) = 0 and Γ
xu
(0) = 0, it follows that φ(0) = 0, which proves
(11.98). Next, with L

(x) given by (11.139) and φ(x) given by (11.135) it
follows that (11.101) holds. Finally, since H(x, u) = H(x, u) −H(x, φ(x)) =
[u − φ(x)]

condition (11.102) holds. The result now f ollows as a direct consequence of
Theorem 11.2.

with φ(x) given by (11.135). Furthermore, (11.128), (11.131), and (11.141)
ensure that V (x) is a Lyapunov function guaranteeing robust stability of

. As n oted in Chapter
9, it is important to recognize that the function L
2
(x) which appears in th e
integrand of the performance functional (11.127) is an arbitrary function
of x subject to conditions (11.129), (11.132), and (11.133). Thus, L

(x)
provides flexibility in choosing the control law.
With L
1
(x) given by (11.139) and φ(x) given by (11.135), L(x, u) +
Γ(x, u) can be expressed as
L(x, u) + Γ(x, u) = [u −φ(x)]
