Noninteracting control with stability for Hamiltonian systems

The problem of noninteraction with stability via dynamic state feedback is addressed and solved for a class of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. A simple way to check necessary and sufficient condition is proposed. It is well known that to decide if the problem is solvable, and which class of state feedback has to be used, the stability properties of some special dynamics are to be investigated. For this reason, on the way to the main result, it is shown that such dynamics are not necessarily Hamiltonian. Several examples, clarifying the role of different classes of state-feedback control laws (either static or dynamic) in the solution of the problem, are proposed
