On Euler Emulation of Observer-Based Stabilizers for Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems

In this paper, we deal with the problem of the stabilization in the sample-andhold sense, by emulation of continuous-time, observer-based, global stabilizers. Fully nonlinear time-delay systems are studied. Sufficient conditions are provided such that the Euler approximation of continuous-time, observer-based, global stabilizers, for nonlinear time-delay systems, yields stabilization in the sample-and-hold sense.
