Proof. The result is a direct consequence of Theorem 12.7 with
F (x, u) = (A + ∆A)x+ (B +∆B)u, F

(12.125) that H(x, φ(x)) = 0, and hence, V

[u −

Finally, since V (x) is radially unbounded (12.122), with u(t) = φ(x(t)) =

The optimal f eedback control law φ(x) in Corollary 12.3 is derived
using the properties of H(x, u) as defin ed in Theorem 12.7. Specifically,
since H(x, u) = x

the uniqu e global minimum of H(x, u). Hence, since φ(x) min imizes H(x, u)
