Next, we present an extension of Theorem 11.2 for characterizing
robust feedback controllers that guarantee robust stability over a class
of nonlinear uncertain systems and min imize an auxiliary performance
functional. For the statement of this result let L : D × U → R and define
the set of r egulation controllers for the nominal nonlinear system F
0
(·, ·) by
S(x
0
)
△
= {u(·) : u(·) is admissible and x(·) given by (12.107)
satisfies x(t) → 0 as t → ∞ with F (·, ·) = F
