Abstract
Some systems cannot be globally asymptotically stabilized by smooth (or even continuous) feedback. This is not simply a lack of controllability. It might happen that, while every state can be steered to the origin by some control law, these control laws cannot be patched together in a continuous fashion to yield a globally defined stabilizing feedback. In this section we discuss how this situation can occur.
