On stabilization of nonlinear systems under data rate constraints using output measurements

We present a contribution to the problem of semi-global asymptotic stabilization of nonlinear continuous-time systems under data rate constraints when only output measurements are available. We consider systems which are uniformly observable and we point out that the design of an ‘embedded-observer’ decoder and a controller which semi-globally stabilize this class of systems under data-rate constraints requires an appropriate choice of the observer gain and the data rate
