Abstract
A technique to design controllers for nonlinear systems from data consists of letting the controllers learn the nonlinearities, cancel them out and stabilize the closed-loop dynamics. When control and nonlinearities are unmatched, the technique leads to an approximate cancellation and local stability results are obtained. In this paper, we show that, if the system has some structure that the designer can exploit, an iterative use of the data leads to a globally stabilizing controller even when control and nonlinearities are unmatched.
