TL;DR: A class of locally exponentially stabilizing controllers is proposed by means of a Lyapunov approach for the regulation of irrigation canals based on the distributed and nonlinear nature of a single reach delimited by two regulator gates.
Abstract: This paper deals with the regulation of irrigation canals. We consider the distributed and nonlinear nature of a single reach delimited by two regulator gates and which can be described by the Saint-Venant equations. By means of a Lyapunov approach we propose a class of locally exponentially stabilizing controllers.

TL;DR: It is proved that the flatness of the robot may be recovered in the average by using vibrational techniques and a second timevarying stabilising control law is built that ensures the global convergence of the trajectory tracking error to a limit cycle near the origin.
