“…Theorem 1: Considering the mechanical system described by (2), the following holds for any ( (0), (0)) ζ ζ satisfying both the nonholonomic constraint: asymptotic stability, i. e., e ζ and e ζ asymptotically converge to zero, is achieved if s K is positive definite, sgn K E ≥ and the parameter adaptation laws are given by [1] ˆ{ }…”
